I heard the proponent is a very old congressman. I heard he thinks the college students are just malling around, undisciplined, and unpatriotic.
I wonder if he realizes that's what his forefathers thought of HIM -- even though he was taking ROTC at the time. (I read this in a historical war book -- of which I am a fan).
I think the consensus is either to scrap the idea or drastically reform it for it to make sense. Unfortunately, with our enlisted men practically in bare feet and eating sardines everyday, asa ka pa.
Reforming NSTP would have a better chance for success.
