HR staff was professional, but the VP who conducted the phone interview while walking to his car admitted "we like to call veterans even when they don't have a chance" and they had already chosen someone else for the position. I was highly qualified and competitive, and hate to see people checking a veterans box to boost their recruitment statistics.
