In today's military, we have a lot more understanding and humane way of handling those brave soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who have disabilities incurred in service. If they can pass the PT tests and do what is expected of them physically , they get to stay in. In my day, you lose a foot, you were out. I greatly admire these people, they are inspiring. I've seen them. Some of them get to stay in but are somewhat protected and given the less strenuous jobs, but they have to pass the basic tests. Whatever they do, and even if they are not able to stay in, I am so proud and thankful for them.
