[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The simultaneous defense of these EOs and disparaging of DEIA, while also defending veterans preference makes my head spin.

False equivalency. Veterans come in all race and both genders and always have. There are black veterans, you know.

+1  There are a LOT of vets in the workforce who deployed to OIF and OEF and were in some sort of support role and did not see direct combat.  My spouse is a former medical service corps officer (allied health profession, doctorate level) and was going from FOB to FOB on Blackhawks treating patients.  They were on one that was shot down and took a "hard landing" in January 2007 during the worst of it in Iraq.  Has a pretty significant disability rating for it and just started a fed job a few months ago- we are concerned with the probationary memo, although they would make more in private practice, the flexibility and remote work promised in the recruitment notice were worth the pay cut.  They were hired under a fully remote announcement. So...[/quote]
