The Defence Secretary John Healey has announced plans to clear people with severe acne and asthma to join the British army, and has told The Sun that he is keen to recruit gamers into the army, specifically for drone warfare.
I've no issue that that. As they say in the article the forces attitudes to asthma and acne has long been a bit questionable and ruled a lot of people out. I got knocked back for asthma as a teen, it was just a flat 'no' despite never having anything you could call an attack in my life.
