I don’t think so. It’s a pretty barbaric practice, so it deserves strong language. I suspect the only reason it’s still prevalent in America is the momentum of long-standing tradition. There’s no reasonable justification for performing unnecessary surgery on a newborn’s genitals.

Lol, scrambled babies

Yep. A good friend of mine told some pretty horrific stories, I can’t imagine being put in that situation.

It depends on the situation, but for the most part, people who have chronic or severe medical issues will be pulled from their unit until they recover; after which they’ll return to the same or a similar unit.

If they aren’t eventually deemed “fit for duty” their case is presented to a medical board, where they decide if the service member should be retained on active duty. If so, the board could put restrictions on types of duty or grant various reasonable accommodations to the service member. If not, they’ll be medically discharged from active duty.

I only really have secondhand knowledge, because I never went through the process myself, but I lost some people to it. There are appeals processes and the like, and from my perspective it seemed like a fair way to go about it.
