       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,” the Department of Veterans Affairs, admits that three weeks previous, a burglar had 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: During the course of the next year the number of U.s. subject/enemy/citizens whose identities were stolen nearly quadrupled from 20,000,000 to 79,000,000—much of it due to government incompetence.
