Published | Video Starts at 05:05

Do you know in the oath that our military officers take, is the word war mentioned? I'm not aware defense is mentioned. War is not mentioned. Finally, you've sacked 350,000 people. Do you know what percentage are veterans? Senator, we have ensured that all of the veteran preferences are stuck to 30%. of the federal workforce is veterans.
