Well PO1 Tony Holland I have to disagree with you on this point. There is no right to military service and their should be no quotas based on sexual preference or on perceptions that birth gender is a mistake to be corrected.

What Quotas are you talking about LTC Ford? there is no need for quotas at unless the services decide there need to be, and there is no sane reason why they would do so.

LTC Stephen F.
1stSgt Nelson Kerr - how much experience do you have in accessions management and oversight for your service?
I had a decade in the Army and worked at Army Staff and OSD level. Quotas exist whenever there is national and/or command focus to achieve desired ends.
1. This happened when there was a stated desire to expand the range of jobs for women across the military services
2. This happened to a different degree in efforts to expand acceptance of LGBTQ across DoD and the Services. In this case command emphasis played out more in policy and funding. Those who opposed the LGBTQ goals of the previous administration were in an number of cases forced to retire or resigned. That type of quota goal is more in reverse in that its goal is to minimize opposition across the service leadership.

So we do not treat people fairly because you are afraid of what some fools MIGHT do. Would not getting rid of the fools be a better option?

You continually prove you aren't very bright. If you aren't aware, from 2012 to recently, we have released a large number of people through an overall drawdown. It was based on quotas, how many people we need in certain MOSs, how many at certain ranks and years of service, etc.
We are already scrutinizing everyone to ensure only the best are retained.
As it has been stated many times before, this was a social program that was started just before Obama walked out the door. It is not a right

In order to successfully volunteer, one must meet the mental and physical standards in order to serve in our volunteer force. With that being said I I have asthma or diabetes, which both can be successfully managed, why can I serve? Oh yeah, there are medical standards. So why is this so difficult for a segment of the population with 46% suicide rate (https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/AFSP-Williams-Suicide-Report-Final.pdf) to understand that the military may be apprehensive about allowing certain population demographics from serving.."The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one."
