Every single veteran in America, from the Vietnam War and forward, received a letter yesterday from the office of Veterans Affairs, warning them of the theft in early May of a laptop containing personal data of many military personnel. In addition to an apology and acknowledging the loss affecting 26 million vets, the letter also contained a 1-800 number to report phishing or suspicious activity.

To cement its penitence, the office of Veteran Affairs should offer to go on latrine duty for the next month.
