“Having served my country they have my fingerprints. I have no problem with them having my DNA also. And I see no reason those arrested shouldn’t have their DNA collected and stored.”
Yeah well, me too but I have still have this problem with the ‘state’ treating me like a serf.
Everybody in the US military today has their DNA on file.
As does every contractor serving the US military today.
It is one of the current requirements to serve in the military or to work for the military.
Why? Partially to help identify bodies recovered after combat.... it’s quite easy to imagine that a body could be unidentifiable after being blown up.
What else is it used for? Who knows.... it’s required and it’s part of the deal, so you do it.
