Can IE be used on the Mac OS? I use my Mac for personal and military use, and since I have to use a Common Access Card to access the secure websites....IE tends to work better than Chrome and Safari on these sites. Any help is appreciated!

IE, a long time ago used to be available for OS X, but is not now.
However, there are a couple of ways to get it onto your Mac.
It really depends on how badly you want to get IE on your Mac
If it is just for one Program, I would look at CrossOver first and foremost.
EDIT: I know how you feel though, as it was only in the last 2-3 yrs that the Australian Tax Office was a IE site as well, and there where a huge lot of companies and individuals that couldn't access the site, and we let them know. Maybe someone needs to let the people that run the C.A.C that there is a lot of people using OS X.

- Is to use Crossover from CodeWeavers
- Is to use a VM like Parallels or VMFusion
- Or Bootcamp.

Say good bye to IE and say hello to "Spartan" the new browser which will be introduced with Windows 10. Unfortunately, IE will still be hanging around for a long time.
And OP:
You don't need CrossOver to run IE. WineBottler which is free will run it easily.
