There is much difficulty for those who had or have asthma to enter the military, since the individual may perish in a hostile confrontation, not from unfriendly forces, but from breathing difficulties; every case of asthma is not the same, however it is treated as such by misunderstanding individuals.
We, the young people of the United States of America, petition to have the choice of waiving our health issues, by understanding the risks involved, so that we may provide a service, greater than ourselves, to the United States and its allies. We request that such waivers be easily obtainable, without need for a pulmonary function test, and that completed waivers be accepted, with absolute assurance, by any and all military services for entrance into basic military training.
