Wow, I'm not sure this would be a legal question to ask in a formal interview. They can not discriminate based on your military status. You seem to have shrugged it off so it probably doesn't matter to you now. However, I think you would have one heck of a lawsuit.

I went to a job fair and spoke with an HR person for a company that I will not mention publically. When I told her that I was a military pilot, her first question to me was "do you plan to fly for the reserves?" I was a little bit taken back by the question. I answered, yes. She had a obvious frown on her face. The rest of the interview was pointless. She didn't even want to take my resume, although I had witnessed them taken others.
