I'm not sure how I feel about this. While they say its not the intention to recruit students, I believe it is. The military is important to our country, but to have it in the standards of learning... it seems like its pushing an agenda, at least to me.

What a great idea. Kids need to learn that the US spends as much on the military as the rest of the world combined and that we have troops in over 100 mostly peaceful counties.
