I swear it is not Fraching (I love starting thread like that, makes people nervous )
Another thread reminded me of this from NotAlwaysWorking.
Short story, Waitress cut up a female sailors ID card, because she did not believe that there are female active-duty sailors. That none exist. That they are Sasquatch.
Waitress probably heard about the debate going on with women in combat, and then took a short-trip to stupid town.
Technically, the waitress could be charge with "destruction of government property". Those IDs are not cheap (at least $50 per card). They have a special chip in them that lets you access military computers. Also, they store all your personal data and fingerprints (so if you have a bio-metric device on that computer, you can prove that you put in the card). I heard of one person who stole a soldiers wallet that got charged with theft of government property (though I think he also tried to sell the ID to forgers, so they were tacking on charges).
At one point, I bought a card reader just so I could check my Army Email at home. Because it was easier than trying to change your password every 30-90 days (depending on when the last time you were at your unit, I was reserves.) Also, it made me feel like a powerful secret agent sliding my card in to access the system.
