Do I need to be a military vet to qualify for a government job with the US Postal Service. They are hiring now and I want to apply but I heard they prefer hiring military veterans. I that the same for all government jobs?

I worked for the US Postal Service retired after 23 years! i was only 42 when i retired Now i am 65!
I can kick myself in the butt for retiring from that Federal government job,with the Postal union and the fact that is why you see so many attorney wanting to pursue a political job,Congress and Governor's and Senator's all get paid by the same organization that pay's my pension every month the Office of Personal Management also the FBI CIA Drug enforcement agency are under the same umbrella i am for a Postal Worker which is not rocket science , when you go to your local post office to get stamps and mail a letter those individuals at the window are making 55.000 dollars a year and that not including overtime and i get excellent benefits,Federal Blue cross and blue shield, life insurance, and a great vision and dental plan from a federal dental provider and ferderal vision provider I am 65 years old and could have had 44 years of service invested, i am frustrated that i retired only with 23 years of Service my pension would have more the doubled well there is a reason for everything!
