[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't he just shoot a lot of his regular people -- i.e. his electorate -- in the foot? I feel like nearly all administrative and "non specialized" positions (i.e. not doctors and lawyers) have pretty much been filled via veterans preference in recent years. It's a pretty guaranteed route to hiring when your only marketable skills are infantry. Guess that's over for now.[/quote]
It's red meat for the majority of his base.[/quote]

Not sure what that means exactly. All I'm saying is it's one thing to scream -- drain the swamp and act like govt employees are living high off the hog. But reality is at my agency a lot of our various admin roles -- people who do expense reports; HR; set up printers/new computers etc. -- are filled by people who are young vets. Before this their experience consisted of shooting people or refueling jeeps or whatever. Being able to get into the gov't gave them a chance to establish an office/white collar resume so that they wouldn't be 35, aging out of the military without any office type of resume experience - bc the private sector certainly isn't giving them those kinds of chances when they can just steal away admin people with experience from another fortune 500. I guess the gen younger than them doesn't get that?[/quote]
