I am going to have to disagree with you completely. A couple years back a government system was compromised. This system contained a large sum of information on military service members. This information included addresses station assignments deployment information birth dates social security numbers. If you think this to be a simple "inconvenience" please post all of your similar information here for us to use as we see fit.
Let's break this down a little so you understand why this causes terror.
1. A couple years ago groups were targetting family members of deployed soldiers to cause distraction and harm. A distraught soldier (term to include airmen sailors and marines for sake of not typing all repeatedly throughout this) is not at his peak in combat and is more likely to make "mistakes".
2. Most of the above mentioned information is all that is needed to falsify an identity and present yourself as one of these people
Now, I have personally seen the effects of cyber attacks and it terrorizing people. The reaction of many service members durring this time was obviously not "discomfort" or "inconvenience". I would think theass reaction accross the armed forces to resemble a controlled terror. Controlled only through training and discipline.
