Week 2 EOC-Returning Middle East Veterans

The American Sniper..It is a big challenge coming from being in the Middle East in the war and coming back to American society. What the soldiers go through over there is a devastating disaster. They see tragedy, threats, death, explosions every day. They experience disasters every day, and are constantly on the lookout. Then as a society we expect them to come back home and act as though none of those things they faced never happened. As an employer or HR personal, I would have strong undecided feelings about hiring someone who gone through those hard ships. I would constantly be worried about their state of mind, and what kind of action are they going to take if something goes awry. As an employer or HR personal, what kind of responsibility do you have to this person? In the same token, how hard is it for them to find a job? What if they have a family to provide for? As much as I would want to hire a veteran, I would be very worried about what there state mind is like and if they have PTSD or not, especially when it comes to working in a kitchen. There are all kinds of loud noises going on and you’re working with knives, which can be considered weapons. It’s a huge thing to think about when it comes to hiring a veteran that served time in the Middle East.
