Four to five years of that eight year commitment for a ROTC scholarship is spent on the IRR. Which means they are basically a civilian doing "nothing" if you consider working a civilian job is doing "nothing." Because if you believe that then 99% of the US population is doing "nothing." So let's stop pretending they will be doing something all eight of those years.
That IRR commitment is no different than a 18 y/o civilian thinking they're enlisting for 3 or 4 years right out of high school and later learning that they really made an 8 year commitment because of the IRR their recruiter didn't mention.
