No, you would not be eligible for service.

Technically NO, but depending on what MOS you are going for, you might be able to get a waiver
* being that the military is a government entity, they are not bound by the same conventions, such as the American with disabilities act, especially since the job requirements of a U.S. soldier require sight.

You should consider working for the military as a civilian (Civil Service).

Sorry, but no. Your vision has to be correctable to 20/20.

I don't know? You can do almost anything you want if you put your mind to it but I don't know if the Military being what it is would agree?
But either way, Im sure you probably couldn't become a sniper. Try it... who knows?

No. The government has the right to discriminate based on anything they so chose. We gave them the right a long time ago.

Yes you can. It is called American with Disabilities Act. You CANNOT be denied anything because of a disability.
