(WPRI) - Mike Montecalvo sits down with military analyst Lt. General Reginald Centracchio for a one-on-one interview.

The general says the latest government numbers that show more than 13% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans cannot find a job when they return home. 

He says we need to re-train and re-educate the work force to focus on jobs that are available. Job fairs are going to take place for veterans.

Also, the general says the GOP candidates will focus on the veterans vote as the South Carolina primary approaches.
