Question

Help answer this question below.

If someone has CIPA (the inability to feel pain), are they still able to join any branch of the military? Why/why not? After all, if they get shot at or injured in any way, they'd know it but not feel hurt.

    CIPA is an extremely rare condition and it's highly unlikely that such a person could join the military. The individual would have to be examined almost daily because there is no way to know if the person is ill with a high fever, unapparent injury, etc. Getting shot is far from the only hazard in the military. Also, people with CIPA rarely live past the age of 25. See: http://tinyurl.com/yhtvag
