Doesn’t appear to be a problem for the IDF.

This is why I say Israel is in decline. It's PC problem is about 10 years ahead of us.

Good for them.
We’re not the IDF, and political correctness is such BS anyway.
Homos are disgusting, they are disease reservoirs and they have several severe mental issues.

“Mr. Cassara represented an Army E-4 who was discharged from the South Carolina National Guard for being HIV positive. Mr. Cassara petitioned the Army Board for Correction of Military Records on the soldier’s behalf, arguing that the discharge was illegal because the National Guard failed to follow established regulations on treatment of HIV positive soldiers. Mr. Cassara provided the Board with medical documentation proving that the soldier’s status did not interfere with his military duties and that he was still able to serve. The Army Board agreed, and determined the soldier was illegally discharged. Decision allows the soldier to be reinstated with back pay and to continue to serve.”

In December 2007, Mr. Sheldon successfully defended a Navy Chaplain convicted of forcible sodomy and aggravated assault (having unprotected sex with another male without disclosing his HIV status). The Navy Chaplain was sentenced to 12 years in the brig, but Mr. Sheldon had negotiated a plea agreement that capped confinement at 24 months.

The chaplain above was HIV positive...

In the airforce, HIV status falls under “misconduct” as follows:

— Having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and not complying with lawfully ordered preventive medicine procedures (e.g., safe sex order)

-— Airmen approved for discharge for having HIV and not complying with lawfully ordered preventive medicine procedures are not eligible for probation and rehabilitation


You got that the Health Infomation Privacy Act was used to keep HIV positive people in uniform, right?
