They are part time and this is just another revolving door between the military and industry. They are literally there to sell their products (and brag about "having served").

What are other nepotistic initiatives?

"The Army in March 2021 awarded Microsoft a 10-year contract worth up to $21.9 billion for IVAS, but the initial version of the system experienced technical difficulties with a number of soldiers experiencing dizziness, headaches or nausea after wearing the goggles."

Some airline someday is going to figure out that if you guarantee overhead luggage space, people will pay more to get on the plane last instead of first.

I've long thought this for economy tickets.

But if you really want to pay more, and are flying on higher fares, getting on the plane first turns back into a perk cause you get some free booze. And your seat is now more comfortable than the airport seats (even many airport lounge seats, where the best seats can go quickly when it's busy).
