THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT On page two, Team member MyFakeName threw out a slam against vets and nobody said anything about it. Am I wrong? He is implying that vets that get hired over others merely did so because of vet preference which they earned. Additionally, he blatantly states that vets who are hired are "mentally disabled." 
Am I reading this all wrong because I haven't had my coffee yet? |

Well returning vets are getting preference in hiring and I have no problem with that. Within that group there have to be personality types that go from stable to bat shit crazy. If all they are hiring is the ones that are not all there anymore or never were then it is no slight. Don't go looking for a reason to be offended.

Not looking to be offended, however this post appeared to be sour grapes because a vet got a job over him or someone he knows. He didn't specify or differentiate between vets and vets with PTSD, but rather classified all vets as being "mentally disabled." |

If anyone wants veterans preference they can enlist and earn it like us. Screw that guy.

He did sound butthurt about something or other. I went to to the USAJOBS.GOV website to do a cut & paste of what it said, as far as point preference for vets, but when I came back, the thread had gone 'POOF!' |
