Somebody knows if the Air force (of any country) accepts color deficient persons?

Question:
I want to join the Colombian Air force as an officer but they dont accept color blind persons. Im just color deficient. I need to know if is possible to convince them that my disability has a solution (the FAA gives people a color blindness waiver, that means that you can fly depending of the kind of deficiency you have). I have many military contacts so I know how do a petition or something. In Colombia color-blind persons cant join on the military as officers, at least since 1996.

what is yaw force?

For a pilot license in the US you must be able to distinguish the difference between aviation green and red. If you can distinguish colors, study the red and green and remember what color it looks like to you, and you can get a SODA(statement of demonstrated ability). If you cannot distinguish colors, you may be out of luck.
During WWII the military specially recruited persons who were color blind to certain colors of green and brown, because they could spot camouflage nets that persons with normal vision could not.

I feel sorry for Airbus, What about you?

Try to join other Air force....

Are there any colleges in the UK which offer Aeronautical Science degrees aswell as flight training?

Don't get your hope up. Daltonism is a reason for not accepting someone as a military pilot everywhere. Vision is just too important for pilots, especially in the context of finding object painted with camouflage patterns.
