New Don't know about college kids...
Must not be too unpopular. I have a daughter in JROTC (High school version), along with her boyfriend, and two other friends.

<brag> This is her first year in ROTC. Started in Sep. In Nov the local schools held a drill competition. Her school took 2nd place. After the school competition, there was an individual competition. Started with ~150 kids. Just D&C (drill and ceremony). She was in the final 15 kids. Didn't make the final 5. Outlasted her sergeant, commander and her boyfriend. Not sure which she was more proud of... boyfriend or sergeant... </brag>

...and there was a ROTC (Corps iirc, female) who was concerned about the impact of a draft and expansion of ROTC programs for a simple reason.

She was concerned about the impact of putting people in ubiform who >don't< want to be there and its negative impact on the rest of the forces.

I thought it was a pretty decent objection...especially during a time when raw numbers of soldiers are not necessary.
