I was really upset in the dream and I got into trouble because I wouldn't stand and salute when the nazi kids walked into the classroom or the halls of the school.

And it sucks because that friend was a good guy, very nice. Can't trust no one.

    Or derogatory towards their "superiors"?

    I'm not entirely familiar with the internal hierarchy of ROTC, but I have gotten the impression that people take their roles... a bit too seriously at times. Like they think they're in the real military and not just a college kid LARPing (essentially)

    I could imagine a "less committed" member. Perhaps someone whose dad is paying tuition and was a military officer tells their kid to be in ROTC to have that door open for them. The kid is just there so Dad keeps paying the bills, and they hate the upperclassmen who walk around telling the junior members to, whatever, shave their face or stop skipping PT... whatever ROTC kids yell at each other about. So they call them "raht-see naht-sees."
