Why? Because the military is not an equal opportunity employer. The military wants its soldiers to be cultural role models, in a sense. The way you can be discharged for adultery, for example.

No it has more to do with the military wants soldiers to be uniform. There is no individuality in the service. Thats why no one uses first names.

Also......YOU WILL NEVER GET ACCEPTED FOR ANY SPECIAL FORCES, SEALS OR ANY OTHER ELITE FORCES EVER IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO (which is an identifying mark...like a scar) and identifying marks are a serious no-no when trying to join said units.

Correct if I am wrong, but when you the drill sergeant says on the first day, your ass is his he is not kidding. Once you have signed up you are bound by Military Laws and court not the Constitution.
You are property of Uncle Sam and no longer a civilian.
You body is completely 100% government property. The military can tell you to do what ever they want according to military laws and if you disobey, that is a whole different nightmarish can of worms.
