Has your OP been so thoroughly decimated by post #39 that you are forced to derail your own thread already?

Pretty sorry showing. Maybe you should ask to have it deleted and try again later.

Try what? it got a numbskull like you to show his true colors as a DEI aficionado who pretends he isn't, the thread has done its job as my threads always do, exposed trumpanzee hypocrisy.

And cut the "service" crap, nobody forced those people to join and serve, it was a choice, we all make career choices every day, nobody deserves special treatment with kid gloves just for murdering Muslims.

Such entitlement...tsk tsk...

 

[Missourian]

That's fine if military service is a job parameter, if it isn't then its as irrelevant as skin color or sexual inclination. Is there a law saying veterans must be treated preferentially? No, else Leon Skum wouldn't be firing their asses would he...

DEI is DEI is DEI.

Fake news.

Veterans receive preferential treatment based on their service to our country.

Not an immutable characteristic.








IOW, veterans are proven model employees with high loyalty, integrity, work ethic, discipline, leadership skills, adaptability, and self-motivation.

Tested and proven.

The opposite of being given preferential treatment based on immutable characteristics.

The person incapable of discerning the obvious difference between preferential meritorious hiring of tested and proven veterans based on their service to their country...and those who receive preferential hiring based on the color of their skin, the shape of their genitalia or the sex of their preferred sexual partners, having the unmitigated audacity to label anyone else a 'numbskull' is the funniest joke I've heard today.


Thanks for the laugh.

He didn't get his job because he was a member of an ethnic group, a member of LQTNBC, or some other special needs group, he spent it defending his country for a period of 20 years.

he got his job on merit. not because he looks different or acts different. He got it because he earned it. he walked in the door with a good start on the required security clearance needed. they had his file detailing his background, in detail.

you've got your head up your ass if you think military service falls under DEI.

and so does Watters.

The extreme right in this country never seem to understand irony, the policies they reject and dismiss are often the same kinds of policies that they also demand.

Take Jesse Watters, an opponent of DEI. Here he complains that a veteran buddy of his named Chris who has been fired by DOGE was treated unfairly and that really veterans should receive preferential treatment when selecting people to fire - that special treatment amounts to DEI.

Just like hiring, firing too should be merit based - yes? anyone?

This is how intellectually inept trumpanzees are.

Their status as veterans is not based on race, gender, or ethnicity. Have a nice day, moron!

Save the propaganda. I've managed project teams that had former US servicemen on the team, they were excellent team members.

However the skills you refer to are not only found in veterans, many people have those skills so why do imply only veterans possess such skills?

So giving special treatment to people with those skills who are veterans and not to other people with the same skills who are not veterans is DEI.

No, that is putting those who have served our country first, not because they are confused about what sex they are or their skin color entitles them. You're a little sick puppy.

Hiring veterans is not 'diversity' 'equity' and 'inclusion.' Putting veterans 1st is because they served our country. They DID something and were not hired for checking a racist box.

I beg to differ. A veteran has had food, clothing, heating, housing, medical care all provided for them for years. A person who has worked in industry has had to buy their own clothes, cook their own food, find and contract and pay for their own housing.

There are well known anecdotal stories of men who've left the military after years of duty only to find they cannot function well in the real world. There's no one to give them orders, they have to do lots of things for themselves that they've simply never ever had to do.

Then there's the PTSD baggage to contend with.

Even basic home accounting and budgeting is outside of their experience, they've developed a dependency on a rigid structured world where many things are just provided for them, no need to use their initiative for many things.

Insinuating that a veteran is somehow guaranteed to perform better at a job than a non-veteran is prejudice, bias and entitlement, the very factors I hear DEI opponents complain about.

A person's past experience is certainly relevant when selecting candidates but the blanket declaration that one should always hire a veteran over a non-veteran all other things being equal, is prejudice, plain and simple.

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for the hypocrisy lesson.

Give it a rest, a lot of young men join the military because they can't actually find a job or discipline themselves to hold it down. Joining the military gets you a lot of free passes.

It's simple being a veteran does not mean you are always better at any job than a non-veteran and it's ridiculous to claim that.

The issue here is whether when it comes to firing people (see the OP) reducing the workforce, should veterans receive preferential treatment? should there be a policy of firing non-vets first just because they are non-vets?

To answer yes is to be a hypocrite, it is bias and prejudice the very thing your DEI cry babies claim to be opposed to, it's laughable.

Vets earned their positions by serving the country, unlike DEI hires who have done nothing but checked a couple of boxes.

I didn’t claim any of that you’re making it up.

The world according to a biased Brit "Daily Mail" editorial? If it's on the internet it must be true.

I thought the ‘A’ in DEIA+ stood for ‘accessibility’, but maybe Trump thinks it means ‘army’!

 

[whitehall]

It's the same old story. They lift an out of context statement and build a conspiracy around it and lefties eat up every word because it's what they want to hear. That's how propaganda works.
