For what it's worth, I am red-green deficient and have been on record as such for every physical exam I've ever had. I can't think of any where the examiner did not give me a vivid red/vivid green test. Sometimes it's been while looking into a machine that displays both, sometimes it's as simple as them holding up a red marker and a green marker and asking me which was which.
My point being that a) there are color-blind SF Soldiers, b) I've had the red-green distinction test for every physical over the course of almost 20 years without having to ask for it, and c) I've never come across a physician who has tried to claim I'm medically disqualified for SF duty.
That being said, I don't doubt the anecdotal situations you've heard about but in the end you're in the right. If you run into something like that I think Dozer's advice is the way to go.
