An injured Army vet has won an employment discrimination lawsuit against the FBI. Justin Slaby of Stafford lost his hand to a grenade explosion during an Army training accident. He then applied to be a special agent with the FBI. Slaby says trainers at the FBI Academy in Quantico discriminated against him. He says they forced him to shoot a gun with his left hand but did not impose the same requirement on other candidates. The FBI has transferred one supervisor involved in the incident. It has refused to comment on the ruling.
He should have the same chances as anyone else. if he can perform the same or better as the others trying out what is the problem. don't push our vets aside. they are brave men who deserve a fair chance. i know many of our "wounded warriors who can out shoot, out hunt, or out run any suvillian.
Such b.s. He had no business being hired in the first place. not as an agent at least.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read on here Ireton and Hoppes are guilty of the same.
ReplyDeleteIf he can do the job it doesn't matter if he's got one hand or two.
