"Asthma," not asthma, is prevalent among athletes because (1) they're physically fit but unhealthy and (2) they use albuterol as a performance enhancer to up their VO2max, however marginally.
And it is entirely possible to not only serve but complete and pass army ranger school with asthma. This happens on the regular.

Asthma and playing football:
https://www.snallergy.com/athletic-support-for-football-players-and-asthma/Jerome Bettis, Emmit Smith, and Chris Draft are NFL pro players, and all three managed their asthma conditions throughout their careers.
Asthma and swimming:
https://www.reuters.com/article/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/asthma-very-common-among-olympic-level-swimmers-idUSKBN0MT2I5/“Asthma very common among Olympic-level swimmers”
Most years, swimming events had more participants with asthma or other airway obstruction than other aquatic events. …
Each year, between 12 and 25 percent of swimmers had asthma. In 2008, almost 25 percent of swimmers, 26 percent of open water swimmers and 22 percent of synchronized swimmers had asthma.Outstanding. So if you have asthma, you can play football, be a lifeguard but you're not fit for military service because of your health.

Have to look at the military's criteria for enlistment/deferment at the time, and evaluate that against a specific asthma patient's health history and condition at the time.
You keep bringing this asthma thing up like a one-size-fits-all but I expect you to know better.
(You can, of course, also say the same for bone spur.)

Please, Ax, tell us more about a medical condition you had to fucking Google because you don't have it!

Googling, and looking up statistics and cases beyond your own first-hand experience is good because it lets you see a world beyond yourself. Don't approach issues like a self-centered brat who thinks his own experience is all that matters. There is a big world out there with many people with different experiences. You should Google more and make it more of a habit to look up more data, statistics, and case studies when approaching issues that concern more than just you personally.

Your treatment of your relationships is embarrassing. You don't know how to meet others halfway in their discussions, you aren't curious about anyone you choose to speak with and that makes you a waste of time. It's not your political opinions or the level to which we may agree or disagree on topics. Those are trivial, but your personality is disgusting and there is no instance in which I have felt glad to have been exposed to it.
I can't block you or else I would have years ago. Do both me and yourself a favor and block me instead. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Please love yourself.

Again, I don't know. But you have to be a good, strong swimmer, right? You have to be able to hold your breath, and swim while breathing. You have to be strong enough to pull someone out of the water. That's a tall order for someone whose asthma is bad enough to get them out of military service.
Asthma fucks you up when you swim or play football in all but the very lightest of cases.

Swimming is generally recommended as excellent exercise for asthmatics. My doctor recommended I take it up when I was a kid.

Sure is. I was told the same thing. Doesn't mean it doesn't fuck you up.
Conversely, sitting on the couch doing nothing doesn't generally trigger asthma, but that doesn't make it good for asthmatics to do.

Black people can't get sunburned. That sounds pretty racist to me.

It’s starting.

Among some Jewish American producers, agents and executives there's a sense that — even if the VP pick was the result of electoral calculations — those calculations come with baked-in antisemitic assumptions about the electorate.
