However, it does add another level of medical care that the military probably doesn't want to deal with, especially with no shortage of volunteers.

An extreme example is I have to get kidney dialysis three times a week for four hours each time. Not only would the Army immediately reject me, but even prisons don't want to deal with the expense and trouble with someone like me. I could probably rob a bank and get house arrest.

I'm going to let my outrage machine idle on this rule and save it for something that affects a larger pool of people.
