Never have I done such a thing. They do, although the workforce is pretty tough out there for the dominant age group in the military. But let's not pretend that firing them is somehow "treating them better" than telling them they can't draw a pension until they are 55. You're the one talking about how we should look for all these other things before we ask them to sacrifice - but then you demand they sacrifice their jobs? How the hell does that make sense?
Job placement programs, and giving tax breaks to employers that hire vets as the Democrats have proposed would be preferable to most vets than having their benefits cut, I would wager.
