This is what the author had to say about Veterans. I hope this helps someone.

Not sure I understand the question. There are a number of vets who are in the FS and by and large do a really good job. They get the whole hierarchy thing right out of the gate. Took me six months to get that formality. They also tend to understand the relations between different parts of our government better than lay folks. I believe they get a slight point bump to their total score on the orals as part of the broader USG vet hiring process. This helps with their ranking and hence potential to be selected. If I didn't answer the question please just let me know.
