Normally I would agree, but in this case I believe ANYONE that Earns their living from TAXPAYER funds should be sent first.
My argument with your comment is that we were the patriots who signed up to serve our country and were deployed into combat in the service of our country while others were either not fit, had the capacity to serve their country or pursued other careers. I have no qualms about the ones who pursued other careers. But to say that those who then moved on post their military service to have to go to war again for the only reason they work/worked for a military contractor is reprehensible. Veterans to tend to gravitate towards those places with fellow veterans as there is a common bond the civilians will never understand.
