The US military has suspended 34 officers in charge of launching nuclear missiles for cheating on a proficiency test, Air Force leaders said Wednesday.
The scandal at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana marked the latest in a series of damaging revelations dogging the country's nuclear force,including a separate probe into illegal drugs that came to light last week.
"There was cheating that took place with respect to this particular test," Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James told a news conference.
"Some officers did it. Others apparently knew about it,and it appears that they did nothing,or at least not enough,to stop it or to report it."

cheating? like, using somebody else’s social security number?
Were they taking IQ tests or Final exams?
Maybe they want more diversity and dyslexics manning the launch keys .. equality and all.
you know how boring it must be sitting around in bunkers..
no video games,, just .. duty.
They were talking about the drug scandal on Russian TV last night. Makes me proud to be an American... /sarc
Keep in mind these are the people part of the always win generation so it does not surprise me that the feel entitled to cheat for that “A”.
This kind of cheating could lead to election theft and stuff like that, fake birth certificates or selective service cards, or using stolen Social Security numbers, or covering up terrorist attacks by labeling them ‘protest over a video’, or telling people they can keep their health care plan or their doctor to trick them into voting for you again, etc..
The real headline was “34 nuclear officers suspended for helping to prevent Charleston SC being nuked in false flag by Obama”.
That's a clue....No such thing as mass cheating. Was this test a trap??
Question 1: Are you now or have ever been a Christian?
:: including a separate probe into illegal drugs that came to light last week. ::
And, will anyone ask Obamugabe for a stement regarding this “revelation”?
If you detect inbound Russian ICBMs you should:
a) Talk to your silo-mates about your feelings.
b) Call the Russians "racists!" and hope they stop their attack.
c) Pray to Obama for guidance and victory.
d) Follow your training, orders, and SOP.
a) Talk to your silo-mates about your feelings.

c) Pray to Obama for guidance and victory.
d) Follow your training, orders, and SOP.
Note: If you answered d) Follow your training, orders, and SOP prior to 20 JAN 2009, you would be correct. Starting 21 JAN 2009, the correct answer is either a), b), or c).
This story is really disturbing. Having a strong, loyal, honest miliary used to be the cornerstone of US strength. With the cheating and rule breaking described here, it seems that it’s widespread, an accepted part of the culture, and not hidden.
Perhaps the test is only given to these bases?
Do we even know what the test is about?
Is is some new _equal_opportunity_ test or a legitimate skills test?
Regardless, I sure there are _new_ elements w/i USAF who are eager to move their kind of people into crucial positions.
Winkitty-Wink...many are asleep; many are afraid; fear manifests in many different behaviors.
Or Valerie Jarrett supporters.
Will they all be running for political office now?
"Psst. What did you put for #3 "Which way do you turn the key"? Clockwise or counterclockwise?"
I saw the story as it broke on the MSM. They were calling it a ‘proficiency exam’. I don’t know what they are calling it now. The cheating was passing answers by phone texting. If this is true then the punishment is warrented.
They’ll all unionize and become educrats in Atlanta.
