I'm in the military and have been to Afghanistan and Iraq several times and I'm going again soon... there's no way you can tell us we aren't helping to keep us safer.
And to explain the recent failures in the system... as all programmers know, you can't prevent every exploit since there will always be some kind of bug in complicated code. You just have to learn and adapt. (though there is a lot of "oh well I'll get paid no matter if this works really good or just bare minimum" attitude in the govt)
