There must be some extent of due process given though. Just an accusation will not be justified in taking someones life. Obviously, and even in the rare case, it must be investigated.

Docking pay? If you are payed less/docked more than white counterpart for no other reason than being Black. Or male/female.

What? Not quite sure what you are trying to get at. But having a medical issue that prohibits you from serving is perfectly legal. If you have severe asthma, doubtful you will be cleared by medical to go through basic. There is nothing wrong with that. There most likely exist some legal standard to judge that by as well.

The amount of pushups has no bearing on being a soldier. Minimum physical require do exist. That is to ensure that the physical level is needed. Obviously, women have a different standard as they are genetically different then men. However, like everything in this world, exceptions exist. However, in a general sense, the requirements are "equal" in the sense that measure the amount of physical activity required to complete basic. It is not a higher standard, more of just takes the men more to achieve the same standard that is set for the women. Make sense?

Our military is only getting better and stronger do to all the "unfairness." We have all races, religions, etc. in the military because we deemed "unfair" (unconstitutional) to exclude them from service. Yes, the military must account for it actions more now then ever, but explain to me why that would ever be bad thing? Why would anyone want to fight for something, they themselves, are not allowed to have (rights that is).
