The US Military ID Card is one of the easiest documents in the world to forge - it's just a piece of cardstock with a cutout-poloroid, laminated in plastic.

I'd be more surprised that a state recognizes it, than that it doesn't.

Of course, from what I hear, the DOD is in the process of upgrading to a new "smart" ID card, which is supposed to be harder to forge - perhaps GA will recognize that?

But if there's any outrage here, it's that the DOD went so long with such an important document of such poor design and quality.

Your information appears to be dated.

I am looking at my military ID card (retired). It is not plain card stock. The whole thing was printed in a computer when I got it. It has a halogram (sp), all kinds of superimposed symbols, a bar code and some other funny-looking coded thing on the back. Appears very difficult to reproduce. Apparently, it can be verified in a card reader.
