And there it is; you confirm my suspicion that you have no regard for the Fifth Amendment.
You were never in the military? You weren't vetted and investigated and required to answer numerous personal questions on legal forms?
Even civilian jobs do that.
My father in law applied for a position as an accountant.
The interval went well, but at the end my Uncle R. was told that they were looking for someone with less experience. Uncle R. said “I’m 23!”
They said oh, that was different, and he was hired. At 23 he had severe male pattern balding, and a very weather beaten face. He had worked his way through Cornell by working on a farm.
There are restrictions on the questions that interviewers are permitted to ask. Age was, at that time, one of them.
I made an appointment with the recruiter, went over the forms, pros/cons, etc.
I don't remember a single "are you a homosexual" question, or any sexual questions at all (other than Male/Female) — but that could be because it was over a decade ago.
I was in for nine years and got out during Obama's first term when it became apparent that (a) the Army as-an-institution had no intention of upholding the Constitution [i.e. ensuring that the President was Constitutionally eligible], and (b) that promotions were pretty political (e.g. all of my promotions [E2-E4] required nonstandard intervention even though they were supposed to be automatic dependent on TIG and/or TIS).
So, if you don't mind, I'm going to say that the regulations/standards don't really matter if they're enforced/unenforced sporadically dependent on how politically connected/favored whoever [is in question] happens to be. *gasp* It's the same way with the law! And one reason why I think there ought to be a culling of all nonessential laws/regulations: the breadth and complexity of our laws is such that it forces the enforcers to be selective in their enforcement, and selective-enforcement is injustice.
