Military jobs are literally not for everyone.
America has some requirements in order to enter into a military position that not everyone can meet. Liberals are furious with President Trump’s decision to remove transgenders from the military but don’t bother with others who are refused their request to serve.
As the upset over President Donald Trump’s decision on transgender people in the military reverberates through the social justice warrior crowd, it’s worth noting that there are other, less medically severe, medical conditions that prevent people from volunteering for the military.
If you have bad — or no — teeth, those are grounds to keep you out of the U.S. military. So is having a hernia or being too overweight after gastric bypass surgery.
According to Military.com, there are pages upon pages of medical reasons that could keep a person from the military, either permanently or temporarily.
