"Donovan scored the only 100 percent on the qualifying test and was also the only veteran to make it to the final interview for the position, according to the complaint.
“The WDVA has admitted Colonel Donovan was not only fully qualified for the position, but that he was the only veteran among the seven finalists who could possibly have been hired,” Donovan’s attorney Michael Fox said in a statement.
The DVA ultimately awarded the position to Sara Stinski, 36, who scored an 82 on the test and has no military experience, according to the complaint. According to court papers filed by the DVA in response to Donovan’s complaint in the spring, Stinski’s 15 years in marketing writing about discounts for veterans qualified her for the position. Prior to her appointment by the DVA, Stinski worked as the marketing and public relations officer for the Wisconsin Restaurant Association."

So to sum it up for the WDVA: write a press about a veteran's discount at a restaurant and you too are qualified to be their spokesman!
