In many US localities it’s illegal to discriminate against military veterans. Increasingly we’re seeing police being added to lists of “protected classes” too.

In many US localities it’s illegal to discriminate against military veterans. Increasingly we’re seeing police being added to lists of “protected classes” too. This attitude is (unfortunately) changing in society.

We also had a draft for a very long time, and I'm sure that when these laws were put into place, there were a large portion of draftees who were at risk for being discriminated against for something they were forced by the government to do.
