“Right. Just to ensure they still work.”

I was briefly TDY on Johnson and Kwajalein islands in the Marshall Islands, the target area for ballistic missiles being tested on the Pacific Missile Range. Just during my short assignment, I saw three of the test launches come in at the range.
Testing the strategic reserve is a good way to remind idiots like Kim, Xi, and Putin that we haven’t totally lost our ability to defend the USA and our interests.
I agree. If we have them, we should ensure they function and that the crews are well trained enough to launch them.
