Just because you are a vet or serving currently

[Maniac Craniac]

I've worked with service members from EVERY branch, and I promise you, that the average Soldier, Sailor, Marine, or Airman IS A CUT ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE. Most civilians are nasty. Active duty members are on average... smarter, healthier, more respectful, more observant, cleaner, punctual, and so on than civilians.

In-group bias + out-group stereotype.

[sarcasm]I'd never hire a vet since most of them are violent pscyhopaths who aren't smart enough to go to college nor stable enough to get real jobs.[/sarcasm}
