As a member of DHS and a veteran, I have no problem with the FEDs scrutinizing veterans who may have leanings towards extremists groups (e.g. white supremacists etc.). When I went through the TS clearance process, every aspect of my life was exposed for the investigators to see. It didn’t bother me; it was a necessary evil for the job I perform on a daily basis. When I retire, I won’t just fade into black and disappear; I’ll be in the inactive reserve until roughly the age of 60 and should a national emergency arise, the US government could recall me. In other words, the government will know where I am for most of my life. The way I see it, I have nothing to hide and consequently don’t care if the government knows where I am as long as they don’t invade my personal space. Military service is awesome and I love my job, but I do lose some rights and I’m OK with that; it is a necessary evil.
