About 17 million Americans (8% of adults) suffer from depression. The Marines don't want them, ever. You will never be a Marine if you need to take a pill because you feel depressed. A real Marine CAUSES depression, they don't suffer from it.

Fair or not, Marines and Presidents are held to a higher standard. Not sure where Migraines fall on the scale, depending upon the frequency and severity I suppose. But this IS an issue.

The Marines would never take a man who had no use of his legs and had to be pushed in a wheel chair (FDR) either. By the time JFK was president, his back was so bad, he would be in agony for days. A number of presidents had ailments that would have made them unfit for Marine Corp service.
