How COPD differs from asthma, and why it's important to not smoke.
Probably not. Crohn's disease can flare up at anytime. It is not curable. It can go into remission for years and re-appear very suddenly. Stress often is blamed for flare-ups and what can be more stressful than basic training or a posting to a war zone. Army doctors will probably not take the chance.
