Veterans Affairs warns of massive privacy breach 2006-06-07

My husband and I have had our information stolen before thanks to the healthcare agency assigned to the military (TRICARE) just 5 years ago and now the same has happened again, both attached directly to government agencies that are supposed to protect and serve the members and veterans of the Armed Forces. I am VERY disappointed and feel that the responsible parties should have been fired immediately for breaking regulations and not still receiving pay checks while on administrative leave.
