Currently the only protected classes people demand to see at a company are women (far larger share of Americans than veterans) and Black people (about 2x the number of veterans). Veterans are also people who are more likely to end up in certain industries, unlike (say) a Black person. You'd expect a lot of veterans in military, law enforcement, and government. How many does that leave for the rest of us to hire? And how many are getting the degrees necessary for certain fields, like nursing or civil engineering? I don't agree that 0 veterans (up to a point) says something about a company until you can show that they had a pool of qualified applicants and chose not to hire any. I would say the same about racial bias, too, by the way. A company with no Black people isn't confirmed racist until you know their applicant demographics.
