JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) is a high school (middle school in some exceptions) program created in 1916 with the National Defense Act of 1916 in preparation of WWI. This program is used to teach students how to be exceptional leaders and learn certain skills which can help any who join in the future.
Typically, the program is stereotyped by liberals or far left wingers as a war machine made to brainwash kids into working for the US government. Typically, stereotyped by jocks/athletic students as a place for nerds or army roleplayers.
Left winger: 'Oh no! Another person being brainwashed by the war machine! DOWN WITH JROTC!' (Actual scenario happened at my old school.)
Informed student/JROTC Cadet: 'No. They're just learning actual skills for their future instead of picking up a sign and yelling.'

Jock: 'HA! Nerds! JROTC is full of nerds!' (Incorrect. Plenty of 'jocks' have joined JROTC.)
Cadet: 'Not really. We're learning life skills.'
