I hate to tell everyone this but if what I have seen in the Air Force, leadership is SERIOUSLY LACKING!

Not sure why it matters..Obama is working on putting China and Russia in charge of our nukes anyway.

Oddly enough, Colonel Ayres was replaced by a Brigadier General named Jack Ripper.

No, it was a GIANT METAL INSECT!.

“his unit failed a safety inspection, trucks carrying missile parts crashed and officers under him fell asleep with launch codes in hand.”

Scary. I suspect the relieved commander’s replacement is going to keep the men rather *busy* in the coming days. Maybe they’ll find out just how many toothbrushes it takes to scrub an ICBM? ;)

Big mistake to merge the old TAC and SAC into Air Combat Command back in the mid-90’s. Hopefully, the new Global Strike Command will help resolve some of these problems.

It wasn't the crash or the sleepy officers that got the Wing Commander fired. It was this that did him in -- "his unit failed a safety inspection"....

Where do they send you if you screw up at Minot? An Alaska DEW site?

Just WOW. I can’t believe that THREE fell asleep at ONCE, with classified docs in their hands! LOL. Were thay all on DRUGS?

three Air Force officers at the wing fell asleep in July 2008 while in possession of classified components containing missile launch codes for ICBMs

No worries, I'm sure the Russkies and ChiComs aren't taking any notice.

Does anybody wonder what 'discipline' the Chinese would have for their commanders if this happened? Hmmmmm?

Let's just be done with this farce - email the launch codes to the ChiComs with a CC to the Russkies. THis movie is getting BORING and long.
