Even as a veteran, I actually dont agree with preference. But the fact is, alot of the jobs that veterans get preference for are because they have had prior experience in that area. It would only be natural to assume that he or she was more qualified for the job. Yeah, the preference is nice. Does that mean I agree with it? No. Qualificiations, skill and ability (which includes prior experience) is all that should be considered. It shouldn't matter if you're male or female or if you're purple or blue. That method would make a person want to strive to achieve more, to have a better education, to have better skills, to be more qualified so that he or she can get the job based on what they know, not who they are.
