This is not classified military information, and to imply otherwise, would not be honest. Only names, addresses and Social Security numbers were on this stolen CD database.
What, you think that nobody could ever obtain this information about you, without stealing a CD from the VA?
Some of us live in the real world and understand that personal security is a thing of the past.
We should be asking a more simple question:
What the hell was the VA doing with my Social Security Number in the first place? Are they contributing to my retirement account? And if not, what the hell are they doing with that information?
Sorry, but this horse has been outta the barn for decades!
"This is not classified military information, and to imply otherwise, would not be honest. Only names, addresses and Social Security numbers were on this stolen CD database."
Not its not DOD classified but according to federal regulations it is considered "confidential" and private institutions would face heavy fines for a similiar incident.
"Some of us live in the real world and understand that personal security is a thing of the past."
Sure, personal security is challenging but if you choose to totally give up please send me your private information. I need a new car.
