News that Air Force Generals were sacked by the President for recent mishaps, incidents and failures in exercises at nuclear missile batteries hidden across the Western United States has been widely questioned by the Airmen and Airwomen based at these facilities.

It's time that somebody brought out the truth that the politicians in Washington DC seem desperate to hide' one NCO reported in a blog sent out yesterday

NCO's at Minot ND's Air Base are quick to point out that nothing abnormal, or unexpected has occurred over the past year that could possibly have warranted the removal of these Air Force Generals. 'If anything our Boss is a great leader and a good example for all junior officers' the NCO continued.

Career NCO's form the backbone of the Air Force's nuclear deterrent. They are professional warriors that are anxious to report and deny the President's charges that their commanders are anything less than inspirational leaders.

'Something strange has been going on at Command' We all knew things were changing around here when we were standing down our birds and taking perfectly good missiles off the line for extended periods of time' 'We were told that we lacked fuel and spare parts. We were to salvage parts from our Wing's birds to serve some other Wing based on the coast in California' Of course, everybody here knew that this story is pure cock n' bull. New officers arrived immediately from Washington, many had no prior service with Missile Command. I'm just shaking my head' God forbid this is some kind of test of personal loyalty to the President?

Questions left by other bloggers have not been answered at the time of this post.

With all this going on, and with whatever is happening with CERN in Europe, I thought “John Titor” as well.

This is freaking me out. If we DO have a Civil War 2, I may start to suspect that Mr. Titor, whoever he may be, may be right.....

Here is another story that was connected to that same thread:

I think that you can pretty much read between the lines of this snarky journalism, along with the attached “mushroom cloud” photo, to read all of the “objectivity” that you need to know about this piece.

I am officially worried.

Retired Marine Gen. James “Hoss” Cartwright has reportedly lost his security clearance as an investigation into his involvement in national security leaks continues, Foreign Policy reports. Cartwright, a retired four-star general who served for 40 years and last served on the Joint Chiefs, has been the subject of an ongoing investigation into an alleged leak of classified information of the “Stuxnet” virus that targeted and temporarily disabled Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2010. The general’s legal team has called that assertion “preposterous.” Gordon Lubold of FP reports that multiple current and former administration sources said Cartwright lost his clearance earlier this...
