Military Discrimination and Law Schools Banning Recruiting

The military has policies that discriminate based on many things, not just sexual orientation. You can't be too old, too young, too fat, too thin, too sick, color blind, too weak, too dumb, physically or mentally handicapped, need medication such as ritalin, and for many jobs, female. Someone with asthma but no overt symptoms can be excluded solely based on one doctor's note in medical records. You can even be discriminated against for serving too long, or not getting promoted fast enough. I was not eligible for a JAG program because I had served as an officer for 6 years before applying (the cutoff was apparently 5 years). Most of the above areas will not prevent a lawyer from doing his job well, and therefore can not be supported as legitimate reasons to exclude.

I think that the law schools need to be more intellectually honest about discrimination policies. Discrimination is wrong, and they should attack the military on all fronts where it discriminates, not just one pet area for political purposes.
