Loss of institutional memory is a potentially crippling side effect of the draw down on national defense. That doesn't mean they won't still work, in situ as is. Hey what the heck ...

There’s only one solution: disband the Air Force and bring back the Army Air Corp. ;)

How about one large Marine Corps with a naval contingent?

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.
To: Marie
So things have done a 180 reversal with the Air force?
Once upon a time we thought the Navy had that act down to a science and the Army didn’t care about housing at all.Does the Army still not care? Just asking. been a while.

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.
To: Jet Jaguar
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.

No connection to the Titan II or any other military rocket. I’m just a rocket man.
