They deleted the old facts sheet. However, as I recall only about 26% of VA employees were vets.
The new facts sheet is quoted below, Colors and comments are mine:
VA Employees
As of April 30, 2007, VA had 244,032 employees on the rolls. Among all departments and agencies of the federal government, only the Department of Defense has a larger work force. Of the total number of VA employees, 216,658 were in the Veterans Health Administration, 12,684 in the Veterans Benefits Administration, 1,562 in the National Cemetery System, 3,254 in the Veterans Canteen Service and 426 in the Revolving Supply Fund. The rest 9,448 employees are in various staff and facilities offices.
VA is a leader in hiring veterans. About 60 percent of all male employees are veterans. (Less than 50% of VA employees are male!) As of April 30, 2007, VA had 17,346 women employees who served in the U.S. armed forces. More than 24 percent of all veterans in the VA are disabled veterans (I believe that's factual) and three hold the Medal of Honor
