I did not complain about my military ID, I was simply stating that the civilian population would not be to keen on this type of ID. This type of ID place on the civilian population would be a violation of their rights. The government has no right to track its citizens without just cause, for instance, if they are suspected of a crime. That is an individual issue. On a national level, they cannot generally make every citizen a suspect under the guise of security...

The simple act of providing an accurate ID is hardly a violation of a right. I would offer to you that tracking each citizen is a use or abuse of the ID depending on the specific action you speak of within its context and that is very different than the ID itself.

Very much like people attempt to cloud the issue of the ID as opposed to its use/abuse many like to say undocumented migrant worker instead of illegal alien. It seems to me that people like to oppose the ID itself rather than the use / abuse of it and pretend that these two things are one in the same, when they clearly are not.
