[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame has had a long history of having all four military branches on campus.  We have ROTC for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.  I believe I have heard it said that we also have one of the highest, if not the highest, percentages of students doing ROTC.

Why?  I am not entirely sure, but I think it may have something to do with what Princeton Army ROTC grad said up above:

many families from middle or UMC families
high tuition
from families with a tradition of military service
from families trying to send a lot of children to college

I think the Catholic angle, patriotism angle helped too.  Above the doors to Sacred Heart, the basilica on campus, it says, "God, Country, and Notre Dame," the message being that we are here on Earth to serve all three, in this order.

Norte dame is a crazy Christian school. The military has a huge religious bent to it - it doesn't take much reasoning to see why there's a bit overlap.

After college, I looked at Ocs. I was turned off when I was asked what my religion was by a recruiter.

I was never asked this at CIA. The military, within the natsec sphere, is poisoned with Christian fundy typeS. [/quote]

No one on Earth that knows anything at all about Christian Fundamentalists or Catholics would put ND and "Christian fundy types" in the same sentence.[/quote]
