21. ROTC has been around for decades, a nationwide college scholarship program that pays for school in return for a few years of military service. Besides helping hundreds of thousands of Americans pay for college over the years, it has also ensured that a wide cross-section of young Americans serve as officers in our nation’s volunteer military. Harvard kicked ROTC off campus at the height of its protests of the Vietnam War, and did not allow it back until 2011 when Congress repealed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that had been Harvard’s stated reason for keeping ROTC off-campus until that time.
