We fill them with civilians now. There are unionized civilian positions now. These should be going to veterans that still have an opportunity to serve in some capacity, but we toss out the soldiers....
The other side of the coin too is that it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to train a soldier. He has an issue and instead of keeping him in a training capacity or in some other capacity, we throw him out in place of a new off-the-street recruit. You're paying all that money now to retrain this guy to get him to that level. We keep throwing this experience out and this money. If you want to talk about cost savings, hold on to these people and keep them around. Take some of these civilian jobs and maybe switch them out for veterans that can't serve as a service member, but are still capable of serving in some capacity.
