Shoot! Louie this can't be!

"Subcontracting work, often to larger nonveteran companies, was the primary reason for a veteran-owned business to be deemed ineligible for contracts, according to the IG report. Rules vary by the type of contract, but a small business cannot simply pass work on to another business after collecting a fee."

God how could they? They are veterans for crying out loud!

"Some veterans also are not what they seem. The report says one company that claimed to be owned by a disabled veteran received $340,000 in contracts for duct cleaning. The “disabled veteran,” however, served only five weeks in the Marine Corps before being discharged because of an injury received in an off-duty football game. He had never filed a service-connected disability claim."

Are they in there?
"To keep track of qualified veteran-owned businesses, the VA uses VetBiz.gov. VA officials can refer to the database when considering set-aside contracts or sole-source contracts, which have no cap."
