An Air Force unit responsible for dozens of nuclear missiles failed a recent safety and security inspection -- a setback that comes just months after the Air Force temporarily sidelined 17 officers in connection with a prior inspection flop.
The latest failure was recorded by the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. According to Air Force Global Strike Command, the unit received an "unsatisfactory" rating during the inspection in early August after personnel made "tactical-level errors" during an exercise.
"This failure resulted in the entire inspection being graded 'unsatisfactory,'" a statement from Global Strike Command said.
Commander Lt. Gen. Jim Kowalski stressed in the statement that the failure does not mean the safety of America's nuclear arsenal is at risk, and that the inspections are "designed to be tough."
But the failure comes on top of other disappointing news for the Air Force's nuclear weapons force.
Last spring the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., received weak grades on an inspection but did not fail it outright; that performance was so poor, however, that 17 officers temporarily lost their authority to operate missiles.
The group's deputy commander said at the time it was suffering "rot" within its ranks.
"We are, in fact, in a crisis right now," the commander, Lt. Col. Jay Folds, wrote in an internal email.

Not to worry; with all the faggots and dykes in the military now, I’m sure SOMEONE will be found to replace them.....
I agree. Loose lips sink ships, and so does 0bama.
Too many people involved ... 5th column ?
Just a test to see if the will obey dear readers launch command. Those who didn’t are not out.
With women on nukes and in the "trenches", unless you can't find companionship in the real world, you can buy it from your "roommates".
Ya know.....if SAC tradition were still in place...
Gen. Curtis Lemay would have had this solved a long time ago!
I have an idea, lower the standards. Lower standards have solved many of our problems to date so just do it. What could possible go wrong?
It wouldn’t have happened with the General.
My bet is that they are getting rid of all the people who might not push the button on our own people.
Hear, hear!
Wasn't there a time when the unit could pass the inspections?
Are they any tougher now than then?
What's different now?
A lot of ts is a big to do about nothing. They could fail the test by simply applying too many coats of paint to the launcher and a couple of other bull crap exercises.
But if you pulled this unit’s records for PC training I’ll bet their out look on transgendered politics is sterling.

The Military has been sissy-fied, to neuter its effectiveness, and the WORLD is laughing at the USA.
The voterbase (coupled with Fraud) that elected the "A.I.C." (Ass Clown in Chief) don't care as long as the Obamaphone, Food Stamps, and Welfare checks keep comin'. That's where we're at now, Amerika.
Alas, Brave New Babylon.
