Just test them for drugs regularly. It’s the government.
Discipline, training, recurring training, oversight. All went to crap after 1992 when SAC and its stringent requirements went away and they turned the operations end over to the fighter weenies. They had no sense of the gravity of the mission or the requirements needed to maintain readiness and discipline. They ignored it because it got in the way of faster fighter jets.
Many of us in SAC at the time predicted this decline in standards and the many incidents like this over the years bears out our concerns.
SAC maintained their steel fist grip on our snarklies 24/7 but the results were exemplary discipline and control over the nation’s nuclear assets.
