The Spin

This ruling is sound on moral, legal, and scientific grounds. While Biden's military took a good first step in 2022 by allowing existing HIV-positive soldiers to keep their jobs, but it continued to discriminate against prospective enlistees. Modern medicine allows all HIV-positive people — in all industries — to live and work safely without fear of infecting their peers.

HIV medicine only works when taken consistently and properly, which is difficult to do in combat zones. Soldiers are also at far greater risk of spilling blood and coming into contact with other's blood, so it's foolish to put ourAmerica's servicemen at risk of contracting this deadly diseasesdisease. The courts have stripped Pres. Biden's woke military of the only common sense it still had.
