FBI/CIA/ICE/BORDERPATROL/VA/secret service/DOD --Yeah not a stretch that 30% had some military backgound

I am talking about non-military government employees. Approximately 30% of them are veterans. After their active duty is over they basically have an affirmative action program waiting for them to join some other agency like CBP or the VA.
