I’ve been talking with my partners about a new division we’re opening up in the business. I say we hire ONLY veterans due to the 3D factor(dedication, determination, discipline)They say we can’t; it’s discrimination. I said: “Watch me.”
I’ve been in two community colleges recently and from my observation, the hardest working, no-BS young guys in the classes are all vets. They might be rude, crude and highly non-PC, but they bust their asses and when it comes down to results, they’re as serious as heart attacks.
You might get a complaint, but it wouldn’t go very far. The military and veterans are very well supported in public opinion, and if some Obama cadre came down on you for not hiring some one of his slack-jawed OWS cohort, you just say “We make it our policy to hire military veterans” to the local news media and watch it snowball.
If you don’t own at least a sportcoat and tie, you might want to get one ahead of time, for media appearances...
