While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” R. James Nicholson, Esq., Secretary of Veterans Affairs, admits that a burglar has stolen a laptop computer, containing the personal data, including Social Security Numbers, addresses, and phone numbers, of 26,500,000 veterans (former and retired private mercenaries), from the home of a DVA employee (Federal worker).  This opens up the potentially greatest case of identity theft in U.s. history.

       NOTE: As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Nicholson was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
