I went to a school with both a large international program and what seemed like a large ROTC program. Every Thursday ROTC students were required to be in uniform. I always wondered how the international students felt being surrounded by, what must&#x27;ve seemed to them as, soldiers.<p>I was especially curious about how the Middle Eastern students felt. Then again most were from Saudi Arabia, who has something like the ~3rd largest military expenditure per capita.<p>We really are a hyper-militarized country if you think about it.
