Nobody Has A "Right" To Serve In The Military

Or as an astronaut, brain surgeon or 747 Pilot ...

So, if you were in charge of military selection, would you accept a 14 year old or an 80 year old? Would you enlist a drug addicted, pregnant prostitute or a 36 inch tall, one handed, one eyed twenty year old with rings in his nose, tongue and ears? How about an illegal Russian alien and member of the New York Russian Mafia? There are dozens of reasons a person could be rejected from serving as a warrior in our nation's wars. Here is a defense of our military rejecting people who could only be a hindrance to military order and an obstacle on the battle field. The author is unknown. I love Trey Gowdy, but he didn't say it.

Nobody has a “right” to serve in the Military. Nobody.
What makes people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? Very 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, too 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?
Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair? Can’t run the required course in the required time? Can’t do the required number of push-ups?
Not really a “morning person” and refuse to get out of bed before noon?
All can be reasons for denial.
The Military has one job. War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability.
Did someone just scream “That isn’t Fair”? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful.
YOU change yourself to meet Military standards. Not the other way around.
I say again: You don’t change the Military… you must change yourself.
The Military doesn’t need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars.
If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality… Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors. Who’s next in line?
