Good! Got the proverbial grenade in the tent reaction. It’s either a moral or a protection issue. When there is the potential that some segment of the ‘protection’ side will suffer, incur reduced effectiveness or leave service, the charge by the Constitution is arguably not optimum. Then, the collective right to protection (Constitution) outweighs an individual ‘right,’ morally dubious at best. Without keeping the most basic needs of the country sure, individual rights don’t matter much; they’d get relegated to the history books of whatever tyrant in power dictates.

Quit whining.
Never should the minority ever have the right of tyrrany over the majority, which is exactly what this is.
Shoot, lets just let someone in a wheelchair in the Army! Wouldn’t want them to feeeeeeel bad. Wouldn’t matter that everyone else would have to pull extra weight, jump through extra hoops.
Nope lets, just let everyone in. As a matter of fact, lets just drop all standards. No more Physical requirments, because of you don’t pass a PT test, you might feeeel bad and the vast minority of people fail the PT test, but hey, who am I to judge right?
Your’s is a BS argument if I have ever heard one.
