I don't have a problem with the way vets preference is done.
Each and every one of has a choice of joining the military and serving in a forward area and putting your life on the line. This is a policy wherein the government gives back to the vets for their sacrifice. If you don't like it...you can sign up tomorrow and get your vet preference in a few years. Now, I think there certainly is some potential for better candidates being overlooked in deference to a veteran...but I think it's a small price to pay. Having a better resume doesn't even really make you a better forecaster, anyway.
Blindly saying everyone has a choice is not accurate. Some folks have medical conditions and physical limitations that will automatically make that person ineligible for military service.
Reconsider majoring in meteorology!
