7. What the RW loons don't want to process in their pea brains

is that Vets have "Veteran's Preference" for federal jobs. It's a "reward/benefit" for their service but it IS a special "preference" that puts them ahead of others applying for any federal position (in the scoring).

So when they are slashing and burning through various agencies, with the number of "newer" (Gulf War/Afghanistan War/Iraq War) Vets in the system (the bulk who started post-9/11), they are running into Vets who have completed their 20 years active duty service and are making that transition to civilian government... And they are now getting targeted by the DOGE boys as being "probationary".
