Service members also cannot donate immediately after serving because blood-borne diseases in Iraq could infect supplies.

I'm still not allowed.  >:( Who made who?

I've had some Surgery over the last 5 years, and I'm not allowed to donate either. I don't know if you remember Me asking members to Donate Blood a few years back, But I was pretty adement about it.

The reason is , Is that we do not know what we have been exposed to, Viral and Chemical. I know I'd feel kinda sh*ty If I Caused someone needing Blood, to have another Illness, beacause of the good work we did.
