And especially their new term for hiring, Human Resources single or full departments of so called hiring specialists. Who frankly not just don't understand the Military Community but even the experiences of the civilian workforce that new hires may bring to their companies, they get paid to just pick a few resumes and the companies hope for the best in training costs and turnovers.
The veterans of WWII, as well as the quickly trained workers that didn't serve but built up the needs for those serving overseas and quickly innovated as the war needs progressed, came back and built the economic, industrial and education growth that gave rise to the rapid advancing middle class and profits for the business owners and investors, capitalism in it's most clear ideology sharing in the labors, as well as brought needed common sense and critical thought to quickly improve on products and much more.
