Acitve Duty ping.
The answer is yes. The article makes valid points about morale. But the technical aspects of the matter are not affected by morale.
There may be some issues, but I have no doubt whatsoever the nuclear force can execute its mission if so commanded.
I can’t imagine Obama ever launching a nuclear strike even if half the country were devastated in a nuclear attack.
Our subs can also launch nukes and then there’s the air force. Or did that get hope and changed too?
Is Obama setting us up for a takeover by China?
BUT, it is a frightening thought that Obozo has control of the production and maintenance of existing weapons.
if this absolute failure of an administration did try to launch a missile, it would nuke itself.
This is such BS. The USAF will say or do anything to bring in the dollars when things are tight.
When the Grand High Mucky Mucks are paraded through an army base, the post commander shows them the best that they have and the GHMM’s say, “Oh! Well, then you’re doing fine.”
The USAF walks the GHMMs through the dregs. It’s horrifying. And the GHMMs recoil and dump the funds into their housing.
Two years later and the USAFs wives are walking through subsidized shopping malls that would put Beverly Hills to shame and army wives are scraping mold off their walls and begging housing to stop the roof from dripping into their infant’s crib.
The USAF has this down to an art. And yes. They’ll even torture the troops to get the right answers for the GHMMs.
I can’t say that they’re not smart. Shameless, but not dumb. They know how to keep the funds flowing when things are tight.
After 25 years, I’m just shocked that the GHMMs, congress, and the American people still keep falling for their schtick.
For 20 Years the Nuclear Launch Code at US Minuteman Silos Was 00000000

I’m thinking that if they reset all the launch codes to 00000000 they could do it successfully with no problem!
The USAF takes a missile out of a silo and uses it to launch warheads under scientific test just to be sure the systems work...and they do.
The Air Force has been spending all its time kicking God out of all its events so is it any wonder troubles have filled the vacuum? No sympathy here.
What is even the point of land-based missile silos? the enemy knows where they are and could in theory take them out in a surprise attack. Boomer subs on the other hand, lurk anywhere in the world, and cannot all be taken out because they won’t know where most of them are, if they know where any of them are.
Thank God for the boomers, eh? We all knew the air force would never pull their weight in the triad.
Take the humans out of the loop. Let the WOPR make the decisions.
Obama probably had all the keys collected
