Hi Iraq war veteran and former 17 year US civil servant here…

No.

Being a veteran at this point shouldn’t shield you from criticism from being part of the MIC/Revolving door

The owners are doing their absolute best to make military members become hardcore MIC capitalists to give companies trying to get into defense, credibility like a token.

The whole thing is fucking gross and there’s a whole miltary to corporate leadership pipeline.

Unfortunately companies only want somewhat high ranking veterans, not your regular GI.
