Yes, certainly. Employees subject to ADA can dismiss or not hire those incapable of doing the job. Those NOT subject to ADA - most US employers - need not even consider the disabled.

There are almost no protections for those who cannot perform job duties.

Certainly. You can be fired at any time for good reason or bad reason or no reason ... unless the firing is specified as prohibited by a statute. Disability law prohibits large employers and all governments from firing employees BECAUSE they are slightly disabled. It does not prohibit firing employees who deserve it and ARE disabled.
