I agree, we need to have selective screening for all deadly diseases. Political Correctness is also a deadly disease. Right? LOL!
That is a terrible idea. You want to keep someone from joining the military just because they MIGHT be susceptible to a deadly disease down the road?

How would the fact that they MIGHT get HIV, or heart disease, or cancer in the future keep them from admirably and competently serving now?

That just doesn't make sense.

I am speechless
Sorry Coadie, I never knew any male like that. Perhaps you're just jealous because you didn't have what it takes to serve?

Get real. Dentists that are HIV positive are in a field that presents significant health risks. Gay or straight, they should be dismissed to research and perhaps teaching.

LOL! I see that I overlooked your inserting of "susceptible". I was only focusing on "deadly disease".

This is stereo typical Coadie. He's all hat and no cattle.

Inserting? I was just following what you had said.

You said "We already know that studies show that men having sex with men have a 50% higher chance than heterosexual men of HIV infection."

It sounded very much like you wish to keep homosexuals from serving in the military because they might be susceptible to contracting HIV.

Because I asked if he served... and it insulted his wittle manhood.
