The Army Is Officially Honoring Three Slain JROTC Cadets For Their Heroism During The Florida Shooting

Via Task and Purpose:

The Army has awarded Medals of Heroism, the service’s highest medal for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadets, to the three JROTC students killed defending their classmates from a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Feb. 14 

The Medal of Heroism, awarded to students Peter Wang, Alaina Petty and Martin Duque, recognizes JROTC cadets whose achievements “involved the acceptance of danger and extraordinary responsibilities, exemplifying praiseworthy courage and fortitude.”

The mission of JROTC:

“To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens.”

Mission Accomplished.

About that "lowest of the low" rant- Psychology Today looks at the enlisted force.

That California Democrat politician is a fine example of "frequently wrong, but never in doubt!"

How dumb are people in the military? 

In a recent news story, Gregory Salcido, who works at a high school in California and served on the city council, referred to military members as "the lowest of our low."

Presumably he was referring to education, intelligence, and perhaps socioeconomic status.

Is he right? Let's find out.

Are Military Members Uneducated?

One way to find an answer is to look at education. Let's leave aside military officers, who are required to earn a college degree before joining. Presumably, officers are not who you have in mind when wondering about the background and quality of military members. You're probably thinking about the enlisted troops. These are people who typically join right after high school.

 

Mind you, I met some really dumb people during my service. But some of the very brightest people I've ever met were in the enlisted ranks, the combat arms especially.
