Tonight in the debate the idea came up of new special advantages for Veterans in the form of money going to people who hire Veterans over Civilians.
Ron Paul had it right. While there needs to be a call for help in the form of medical care both physical and psychological for our Vets, we don't need to be segregating ourselves into special groups who deserve work over others based on arbitrary means.
Let employers simply hire the best man or woman for the job and stop incentivizing the development of social compartmentalization.
To say Veterans should hold priority over Civilians for jobs is to impose a draft by proxy.

Hear hear, Blutarsky.
Clearly that was a unvarnished pander to military romantics.
Should we mandate such a compartmentalization by law, we must do so for anyone who fights fires, fights crime, fights power outages --- basically anyone who takes on a hazard.
Ask a serviceman, and he will agree he doesn't need handouts. Doesn't need freebies. Doesn't need babysitting.
A firm handshake and genuine statement of gratitude is respect. Special favors are the opposite.
I do not know very much about the topic - but did enjoy reading your opinion about it :)
