Stop The Disqualification Of Healthy Military Recruits Based Solely On Medical History.

Created by E.H. on September 19, 2014

There are many potential military enlistees who are often disqualified due to physical or mental health issues suffered in the past. Many of these individuals do not even get the chance to prove they can handle military life. I understand there needs to be standards in the military, but these individuals should have the chance to serve our country like many others. I want to petition this so that MEPS will properly evaluate each recruit and test their physical and mental capabilities. Medical history alone should not determine whether someone gets into the military if the individual is healthy and resilient enough to handle it.
