Are Veterans Some of Our Nation’s Most Talented and Skilled Leaders?

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates will join the ride-sharing company Uber as chairman of Uber Military, “a new program aimed at hiring service members, veterans and family of military members.” Fine. The company can hire whomever it wants and hire whomever it wants. What I want to point out is this statement by Uber: “Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, but at Uber we understand that veterans are some of our nation’s most talented and skilled leaders.” Most talented? Most skilled? At what? Being cops so they can shoot someone or bash someone’s head in like they did in Iraq or Afghanistan?

For my critique of Gates, see my “Dr. Gates vs. Dr. Paul.”
