How does CAP avoid this nonsense?

What is far more interesting than the article, are the comments from readers that follow.  Despite that being a left leaning publication, there was not universal agreement with the author.  Many of their readers did not agree with the criticism.

I agree, my question was actually how CAP's been able to avoid these bozos?

If they see CAP they assume AF JROTC.

Did a real hit piece on JROTC, their heads would probably explode if they knew about our special activities.

I guess it is lucky for us that CAP is a well kept secret.

Q "How does CAP avoid this nonsense?"

A avoid the ABU? I would hazard to guess

JROTC is not to "Recruit" soldiers or "Train" Soldiers. JROTC Mission "To Motivate Young People To Be Better Citizens"

Riiiiight.  The DoD is not spending millions of dollars on a citizenship program.  Its certainly not like its portrayed in the piece, but it only about recruiting no matter what they say.

Considering my Instructors (Who I am Still Friends With) got awards from the DoD, School and other organizations  for recruting so many young adults into the service, I would say it is Some effect True about Recruting. Ive seen some students turn from lost to found because of JROTC, its a Family, great place to treated equal, and the Instructors take care of you.

Anyone with the attention span and lack of facts to believe this kind of nonsense, is also not going to be
in a position to do much about it besides "like" or "respost", neither of which means much of anything except background noise.

I agree with that up to the point that it gets "liked" and "reposted" enough to garner actual attention... I seem to remember a large Egyptian revolt powered by Twitter not too long ago.

Yeah - how's that working for them?  But to the point, as usual, the media got it wrong:

Most marketers realize the value of "likes" and "reposts" is nearly zero, simply because it take no effort to do it and people
will click through just about anything.  Linked-In's ridiculous endorsement system is an excellent example of that - 20 people
across 40 disciplines with 150 endorsements and a single button to accept them all in one swipe - not exactly a
"letter of recommendation".

Zero cost / effort / qualification responses are worth about what you pay for them.

Buzz never hurts, but social media tends to be an inbred circle by design, and the actual impact it has in the
real world is much more limited then Zuck and company will ever admit.
