The White House won a legal victory when a federal agency ruled that the Obama administration did not violate a military veteran's rights when it rejected his application under a new jobs program for recent graduates. The ruling limited the reach of a law that says vets must get first preference in hiring for federal jobs.
The case involved a disabled veteran, David Dean, who applied for a job under the Pathways Recent Graduates Program, a federal internship system created by President Obama in 2010. Dean's application was rejected because the White House limited the program to people who had finished their studies within the previous two years and he fell outside that requirement.

Vets r like cops. They knew what they signed up to do. They have had work. Dangerous or not. They shouldn't get jobs over others who have been out of work. They shouldn't have quit a job without another lined up. And if forced to leave....give them " if they left the country to fight" full pay unemployment for two years. Long enough to find work or start an education.
