You're under-generalizing. My ideal would be that *nobody* should be 
eligible for military service. Failing that, if we eliminate the female 
half, and the what, 40% "people of color", and the what, 25% same-sexers -- 
well then, it would be pretty hard to put those boots on the ground, wouldn't 
it? And wouldn't that be a Good Thing? 

I expect most people in oh say Afghanistan would think so.
