[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Being a veteran is simply one of the qualifications a person can list when applying for a job.

It is not like the person is saying he/she is black, hispanic, gay, female, etc.  It represents a position that have held in the past.

Not sure why you consider this DEI. [/quote]

No.  When you check the box as a veteran you get preferential treatment.  That preference has nothing to do with your ability or qualifications for the job that you applied for.  It is a DEI preference.[/quote]

You mean preferential treatment due to a service you provided your country, and not due to the color of your skin or your gender?  Oh.

It means people who are LESS QUALIFIED for the job get a leg up.

If they were the best qualified, they wouldn’t need any preferential treatment.

This is false.  They have to meet the basic qualifications regardless of their skin color or whatever else.  More likely it's a case where, given 20 QUALIFIED applicants, the underrepresented QUALIFIED candidate might get picked in order to actually make the government's demographics look more like America's demographics rather than being completely dominated by white males.   DEI does not make qualifications magically go away.  Unqualified candidates get screened out long before that.

The narrative that highly qualified and vastly superior white men are being kicked to the curb in order to hire completely unqualified black lesbian dwarves with epilepsy and a missing leg is a lie. [/quote]

Meeting the basic requirements doesn’t mean they are the [u]best[/u] qualified.

The LESSER qualified vets are stealing jobs from better qualified applications.
