Why does asthma prevent you from joining the military?

F.A.I.T.H. asked:


I have asthma and have been wanting to join the RAF for some time now. However, I recently discovered that having asthma prevents you from joining. If you have been asthma and medication free for 4 years, you can be accepted as ground crew but not for airmen. Why can’t you fly or be accepted into the RAF with asthma?
