"Pentagon guidelines that classified homosexuality as a mental disorder now put it among a list of conditions or 'circumstances' that range from bed-wetting to fear of flying."

"The revision came in response to criticism this year when it was discovered that the guidelines listed homosexuality alongside mental retardation and personality disorders."

"The guidelines outline retirement or other discharge policies for service members with physical disabilities. The rules include sections that describes other specific conditions, circumstances and defects that also could lead to retirement, but are not physical disabilities."
