There are too many service men and women that served in OIF and OEF that struggle to find jobs once on the civilian side.

The federal point system does not seem to be working. It is too often that we here about "buddy system" hiring in federal positions where non-selects were more qualified. Oftentimes over point preference. This system does not seem monitored or enforced.
If a veteran has left the military after honorable discharge due to physical constraint, they and their families deserve a program that creates better opportunities.
