    Good Morning Folks,
    I start­ing to won­der why this V.A. Data “prob­lem” is not being called what is is a “Terrorists Act”.
    It should be clear by now that this house break­ing was not ran­dom event nor was this the work of some bungling first story guy.
    The steal­ing of infort­ma­tion of all who have put on the uni­form, com­ment by VFW National Commander, is a Natioal Security Issue.
    With the events from Canada this past week and Flash dri­ves with Secret infor­ma­tion for sale on the streets of Kobal, The L.A. Times, and this thieft one has to ask, “Are they tak­ing the GWOT seri­ously in Washington?“
    It appears they are not. The fir­ing of a few Agency heads and senior bueacrats in Washingtion is long over due.
    ALLONS,
    Byron Skinner

    The CBS News report men­tioned by davids is at http://​www​.cbsnews​.com/​s​t​o​r​i​e​s​/​2​0​0​6​/​0​6​/​0​7​/​c​b​s​n​e​w​s​_​i​n​v​e​s​t​i​g​a​t​e​s​/​m​a​i​n​1​6​9​2​3​4​6​.​s​h​tml . Only with­out ref­er­ences to 5.2 and 7.6″ bul­lets.
    Mostly seems like the same infor­ma­tion that has been around for a while now, though this is the first time I’ve seen ref­er­ences to reports from Picatinny that say the 5.56mm round has the low­est lethal­ity of all the rounds tested.
    In any event, I’ve still not heard a con­vinc­ing expla­na­tion for both the reports of the low lethal­ity of the round and the “small bul­let big hole” sto­ries from the Vietnam era, and why any expla­na­tion for the lat­ter can’t be used to fix the issue of the for­mer. I’d like some­one to at least try to answer that before we go and change the hun­dreds of thou­sands of ser­vice rifles in use across the US mil­i­tary to recham­ber for a new round.
