It was refused.
I was told they no longer take a military ID card as a valid Government issued ID card. A State of Florida driver's license, which I have been getting by mail for decades, was OK, but not a retired military ID card or any other military ID.
I was insulted. I have thought about it for a few days and I am still insulted by their policy. Am I being too sensitive? Or possibly was their answer of it being company policy wrong and there is some security issue behind it all that I have not heard about?

I don't think you are being too sensitive. My husband is a veteran and I would feel like you do if a bank did that to him. But our feelings aren't going to change anything, unfortunately. The policy doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it's an easy ID to fake? I don't know. I'm sorry this happened to you. Thank you for your service.
