THIEF STEALS DATA ON 26 MILLION MILITARY VETERANS

As a veteran, I have to say that this sucks:

The Department of Veterans Affairs reported Monday that a laptop computer containing the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of over 26,000,000 veterans was stolen from the home of an employee who had taken the data home without authorization.

A copy of the letter being sent to affected veterans is available at the link.

What I don't understand, and nobody has mentioned is why this dip shit took the information home?

I mean, they should let the veterans take a whack at him.
