Veterans' Preference= #1 Federal Government sham!

Strongly suggest renaming Department of Labor (DOL) and/or our government rename "Veterans' Preference" to "Points for Veterans" since "Veterans' Preference" is very misleading and/or of little to no value.

Moreover, at this time NO government agency or government contractor gives qualified war veterans (i.e., Vietnam, Iraq, etc.) job hiring preference even after DOL Veterans' Employment & Training Service (VETS). Why? Answer: #1 Federal Government sham!

Yet many Americans say: “Thank you for your service.” But, many of us war veterans know that most people including federal agencies are not sincere.

P.S. "Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end."
