Notice the language: "...obligates Walmart to INTERVIEW and CONSIDER all qualified, participating soldiers..." so actually, there's no guarantee that Walmart will actually HIRE these folks NOR give them full time jobs with benefits if they do. Presumably, Walmart is in the practice of interviewing and considering all qualified persons seeking jobs anyway... So where's the pay-off? First you get the military, then if y're still alive and functional, you MIGHT be given a job at Walmart. Big whoop.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
has signed on to an Army Reserve program that allows the company and the Army to work together to recruit and train people interested in serving in the military and working for the giant retailer 

Wal-Mart, the world's largest private employer, has more than 1.4 million U..S.
employees 

An agreement signed Tuesday obligates Wal-Mart to interview and consider all qualified, participating soldiers for employment after they complete military occupational specialty training 

Lt. Gen. Jack C.
Stultz, chief of the Army Reserve, was in Bentonville for the Veterans Day signing of the agreement 

When a reserve soldier who works at Wal-Mart is called to service, the company can draw on 1 million or so citizen soldiers to help identify a qualified replacement to work in the soldier's place.
The arrangement is expected to lower costs of recruiting and training for Wal-Mart 

The Army Reserve launched the program in April and has already linked with numerous companies, including Lowell-based J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc.., Sears Holding Corp., Manpower Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp.
, among others 

The program also helps the Army find trained professionals 

"I'm honored to officially begin an enduring partnership with a company of such impressive stature, the nation's largest private employer," Stultz said.
"Wal-Mart has been a great friend to the military, and I look forward to collaborating with our newest valued partner to achieve mutual goals to attract, develop and retain a quality workforce" 

Wal-Mart Chief Executive Lee Scott said the agreement fits with Wal-Mart's way of providing employment 

"Our company has a longstanding commitment to providing employment opportunities in the community.
We have also long recognized those who serve in the military, and it is a privilege to assist the troops and their families with this new initiative," Scott said 

Wal-Mart has taken part in a number of other military-related programs, including one to help children deal with the stress of military life and providing pre-paid phone cards to deployed troops
