ARE police forces suck because we give preference to "veterans"

All the blacks and other minorities in the police force don't help, of course, but all the whites who only got in because they drove a truck in Iraq are making a bad situation even worse.
Fuck veterans. It's not like they had to fight at fucking Verdun for the four years they were in. They deserve no special treatment beyond medical care for injuries sustained during combat. |

Most big cities are like this. Are you just saying rural departments? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2972521&forum_id=2#28621542) |

About three in four attend military-specific job fairs, and they averaged eight per department in 2013."

Why not show me a link that says how many military guys are actually hired? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2972521&forum_id=2#28621635) |

Date: August 25th, 2015 1:20 PM Author: Cerise Indian Lodge Love Of Her Life The way it works out, you pretty much have to be either a minority or a veteran to even have a CHANCE at one of these jobs. Normal bros with high IQs have no way to stand out.
A few extra points on some bullshit resume ranking system matter a great deal in our shitty economy. It's not 1953 anymore. |

Date: August 25th, 2015 1:08 PM Author: excitant menage codepig Veterans have lots of benefits because military pay sucks. There is a reason that U.S. contractors in Iraq and Afghanistsn got paid 5 times as much as the military folks for doing the same job. If you want to double or triple military salaries, I'm sure you'd be able to cut benefits without suffering too big a drop in recruitment.

Date: August 25th, 2015 1:49 PM Author: Cerise Indian Lodge Love Of Her Life Bullshit. Military contractors are paid so much because faggot neocon congressmen are willing to flush money down the toilet.
If all the money was being spent on a domestic social program there would be much more pressure to cut down on costs. |
