Some schools have a dedicated military recruiter who is posted there. The school in particular I'm thinking of is in one of the poorer parts of the city with more minorities.

Cw: sexual assault, child predation

Recruiters are known groomers which is unsurprising considering they're literally there to groom children to murder and die for a ford f150.

The three military recruiters at my school ended up discharging a handgun in the school gym one time. They didn't hit anyone, this was after school was over and they were taking turns flipping a pistol around like Revolver Ocelot. Also one of them would routinely try to entice kids to join the military so they could get a girlfriend. He claimed Iraqi women loved Americans. It was sick.

Yeah my school had a ROTC program. Most of the kids in it were on the poorer end iirc. Some were just military fetishists or kids who didnt want to do gym (though the later would usually only do it freshman year, realize that drills are harder, and switch lol). I had a lot of friends in ROTC and I think only one of them joined the military though? But yeah. Its sick because its literally grooming killers and imperialists starting at 14 years old.
