> Veterans are included in DEI hiring practices. As are disabilities.

My message was specifically about the Yellow Ribbon Program, not if DEI includes people with disabilities.

> If you've applied for a job in the past 10 years surely you've had to declare your gender, ethnic background, veteran status, and disability status.

I did not. I believe that here, in Switzerland, it'd be illegal to ask for your gender or ethnicity. Age is legal, although not often practiced in IT. Veteran status - not a thing.
