Good points.

This isn't really an argument as to why they should or shouldn't be paid, but more a perspective issue: people join ROTC so they can get an education and then there's a possibility they might lose their life if they serve during wartime.

I've always thought college athletes who believe they should be paid are selfish considering the above.

This is very similar to how we pay athletes millions of dollars, but our teachers and police officers/fire fighters are some of the lowest paid positions.
