'Almost 1 in 2 people hired to a permanent federal job is a veteran, with former service members making up 47.4 percent of new hires to full-time positions in fiscal 2014, the last year for which the government has provided data. Starting in 2009, President Obama boosted the extra credit veterans get to give them a greater edge in getting federal jobs, setting hiring goals for veterans at each agency and directing managers to be graded on how many former service members they bring aboard.'
POTUS is doing the whole hating the troops things wrong.

Roger, he hates the troops. As I was. By the way who was it that told troops that "you go to war with the equipment you have, not the equipment you want" when troops highlighted the fact that they were rigging their own anti-IED armor for light-skinned trucks. lol.

Not at all. I think he means well but his ideology is too far left. I can also say the things Bush did I wasn't fond of. I am not a partisan shill

The high turnover could, perhaps, be dealt with by creating a preferential marketplace for job transfers in Federal positions. That is, require all agencies to give top preference to hiring fully qualified applicants that are currently employed by the Federal government and simplify / streamline the personnel action process. I think a requirement to advertise in the internal marketplace for a week before public posting of a position. There are probably numerous pitfalls to this idea that I haven't thought of.
