How ignorant. In the UK, people who stutter and work in the military founded the Defence Stammering (Stuttering) Network. They have a Facebook group and are very active. Have a look here [https://www.gov.uk/government/news/defence-stammering-network-launched](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/defence-stammering-network-launched) One of their founders, Jimmy Lang, was also told by recruiters that he could not become a soldier because of his stutter. He persevered and proved them wrong. Stuttering is classed as a disability and you have a right to be treated equally to everyone else.
