Employment discrimination question - is this legal?

[Hound]

So this means I can't even apply for it, because I'm not a veteran? That sucks. Just don't seem right.....

I am sure you will disagree with this but I am all for it. For those that have given service to this country and sacrificed so much.. preferential treatement is justified. While they are in the service, they are under paid, often disrespected, work hours that most civilians can't imagine, many times [when they are 'off'] either have a crappy bed or no bed, are away from home for months with little to no communication in many cases, and generally are working in the ovens, freezers or any other hell holes of this world. These are not even necessarily the guys on the front lines being shot at, blown up, deep under water, flying high on dangerous missions or in some cases are behind enemy lines.

Ya.... Do your time, get out.... You should get head of the line privledges for protecting all of us so there is a job to be worked.

If you served and are reading this..... Simply, Thank you.

If you don't like it... Join up. Nobody is stopping you.
