[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]
In the fed, you get extra points on the hiring scale for being a veteran. It has nothing to do with qualifications or past work assignments. What does flying a plane or working as an infantry grunt have to do with contracting or litigating a case? The answer is nothing, but that veteran will get preference over someone who has fifteen years of contracting experience as long as that veteran has one year of infantry and one year of contract experience. Yes, DEI meaning include the veterans to make the workforce diverse in experiences. Military diversity and inclusion. [/quote]

You have no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]

Yes they do, it’s completely accurate. The bar for meeting basic qualifications is incredibly low. Once a veteran candidate is on a cert, it’s near impossible to prove they are unqualified, even if they bomb and interview, do hire a non vet.

These are facts. If you are for veteran preference and against DEI in principle, you are either a hypocrite or you don’t understand how veterans preference works.[/quote]
