I apologize. My statement may have been too broad. I just don't see why we'd pick on vets getting a little boost.

I'm not picking on vets, not at all, not even close. I was merely checking into a job lead and ran into something I'd never heard of before. I think jobs programs just for vets is awesome, I'd just never knew there was such a thing. I was merely asking about it, ain't no reason for people to get upset or read something into it that ain't there.

The only reason I asked about "discrimination" is because that EEOC stuff has been beat against our foreheads for how many years now? When I ran into a job posting that stated "only XXX may apply for this", I was taken aback. I asked about it here because I know there's so many vets on this board, and I figured y'all would know what it was about. You sure as hell can't call usajobs.gov and ask them! Kinda sorry now I even brought it up.
