I would agree with that, so long as they couldn't refuse
somebody like me.  Why should i be denied my right to vote
because they wouldn't accept me for service?  Universal

radio op, computer programmer, machinist or cook.  SAme with the fellow in
the wheelchair.  I've stated much the same
however, with those caveats.
