These people do not understand that in today's military there are no non-combat jobs anymore. In Iraq and Afghanistan the convoy escorts were from every air force career field. Every soldier, airman, marine, and sailor must be ready to serve anywhere worldwide in any position and must be physically fit and have all their senses. To lower these standards will endanger not only their lives but their comrades serving with them. If you explain it to them like that I am sure they will understand that this is a bad idea.
