As much as I honor the military, it's ridiculous to give preferences, IMO.

Maybe for jobs where military experience is actually relevant (e.g. defense/intel agencies). Not across the board the way it is now (another case where one-size-fits-all stupidity screws up the system).

The US Marines contracted out such field services as mess, tents, water, etc. for deployed units.

Kellogg Brown & Root had a unit specializing in this activity and hired many retired Marines.

Halliburton bought KBR, and there was no end to the negative propaganda spilling out of the loins of Democrat spokespersons.

With KBR doing the set up and take down and mess work the Marines were free to fight. Without KBR they had to take combat personnel and tranfer them to noncombat duty.

Basically, your idea might seem OK in theory but in practice it's total BS. The anti-American Democrats will never let it work.

Now I'll tell you what might work ~ that any Democrat caught complaining about the who's, whys, whatsis of the Marine messhall or temporary housing in tents be taken captive and used as slave labor in the Marine mess nearest whatever battlefield is of consequence at the time.

KP Forever!!!!!!
