Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. At a time when military recruitment is critically low, why would you turn away qualified people? While I have my own opinions about our military and the way they are used, if they can make the cut, then they should be able to serve. Only incompetent leadership would refuse to fully utilize all personnel and tools at their disposal.
