The entire article is nothing but Internet rumors and make-believe by basement dwelling nerds that want to be thought of a knowledgeable.
As someone who is knowledgeable in the matter of nuclear warfare, I know for fact that this article is more full of poop than a Christmas goose.
The military was decimated after Bush I, and Clinton was too busy spending the Peace Dividend to worry about military readiness. It wouldn’t be any better today, except for 9/11.
We have been at war for 15 years now, but we had been turning swords into plowshares for a decade prior to 9/11. After Gulf War I, Washington acted as if that was The Last War. Both administration’s made debilitating cuts. With the exception of the post-Vietnam era, our military had never been in worse shape.
I’ve given it thought, and have read a lot of scenarios, and can only conclude that Continuity of Government gives a low priority to the continuity of people.
Unfortunately, your assessment is correct.
