Kind of ironic. My understanding is that personal information is collected (in part) to weed out people who would have histories that make them susceptible to blackmail.
- angry_octet 9y agoPeople who deploy to war zones (for 12 months), or get sent on rotations to Boringtown, Iowa, get sad, divorced, gambling habits, alcoholism. The military pretends that everyone has good Christian marital relations; getting divorced can be a career killer, and getting caught cheating also. It's a mess. It turns out that none of those problems is a very good indicator of insider threat. Hardly anyone gets blackmailed, all the big ones were volunteers. But the paranoia gripping the military at the moment will cause crazy damage. Kind of like a bear being bitten by fire ants, slashing itself all over.
