I feel like this would be more practical for something like police and firemen. I’d imagine that military has use for pretty much anyone willing to help but when I’m in a burning building or being attacked by robber I don’t want the person coming to save me to have gotten to that position due to lowered standards. Unconcious person laying in a burning building has a gender-netural weight.
