Apparently, securing the records of people in our military is too woke for this administration.

The U.S. government is reportedly alerting millions of current and former U.S. military service members and staff that their personal information was stolen during a months-long breach of the Pentagon’s personnel records, the latest in a spate of thefts involving federal workers’ data in recent months.

A data breach notification from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) shared on Reddit says that several unauthorized users exploited a security vulnerability in an unspecified file-sharing system over several months between October 2025 and mid-July 2026.

The breach exposed personally identifiable information, including Social Security numbers, alongside a person’s name, date of birth, sex, race, and other information about their military service. The notice says that the personnel records were unencrypted.

Who could have predicted this breach with all the DOGE bros and their meddling breaking of the entire system? Obviously that had nothing to do with THIS. /sarcasm off

Exactly what I was thinking.

Ages past I ran into the concept of 'fiduciary responsibility', along which was the notion that you DO NOT TRUST sensitive information with someone who isn't financially obligated to safeguard the integrity and security of that data. And this whole DOGE bros going in with hard drives and armed escorts to copy whatever damned data they wanted to was exactly a case of what NOT to do.

Did they leave back doors? duh. Did they sell copies of the data that they shouldn't have had access to for personal profit? Duh. Did deep pockets looking to exploit the masses with any and all information they can get their hands on chip in and help themselves to it? Duh.

Irreparable damage has been done to our institutions and our constituency with this absolute traitorous profiteer in charge.

And they'd re-elect the fucktard again if they could, and they'll try... because "the other boot" hasn't dropped yet.

And if it looks like the chickens are gonna come home to roost, the republicans will take the loss and blame *everything* on the democrats that take power while completely obstructing any and all efforts to fix things.
