Nobody has a "right" to serve in the military. Nobody. What makes people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? Vary far from it. The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, to tall or too short. Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers. Poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identify as a Unicorn?  Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of pushups? All reasons can be reasons for denial. The Military has one job. WAR. You change yourself to meet Military standards. Not the other way around. The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special needs. Did someone say " That isn't Fair'? Military needs to Win Wars! Thanks for applying.
