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.

Thank you for a reply that actually discusses. I don't know that I agree with the "fact" that a lot of the jobs veterans get preference for are because they had prior experience in the area. Jobs in the post office, for example.
Curious as to how you can say the preferences is "nice" but that you don't agree with it? Does that mean even though your principles don't agree with it you would take advantage of it?
