the military were asked for comment American soldiers relied on apps to study and memorize the details of the nuclear weapon systems for at least eight years without realizing that the highly confidential information also was available online for anyone to look up

Soldiers stationed on European bases that host nuclear weapons unwittingly exposed a number of sensitive details through apps that made top secret information appear publicly in online searches.

*There’s an App for that.

Not taking the best and brightest so much anymore…

Who was in charge eight years ago? Probably intentional.

[GaryCrow]

Anybody and everybody has known which bases have nukes in Europe for the last 40 years. It's the worst kept secret in the history of mankind. The rush to indignity whenever something like this is published is huge, but the russians have known where they're at forever.

This isn't exactly a revelation.

I’d say this will probably come up in their annual performance review but more likely that will only focus on how well they showed respect and deference for transgendered soldiers.

But its all OK, the ap is transgender friendly.

Three of them. Who authorized that?

[Lurker]

People should be shot for this.

Seriously.

Our military is starting to revert to its form between world wars. Lackluster.

Neither is the Navy. Crash. Oops.

TS is TS though. I was once in a meeting where one of my team members quoted a definition out of his college textbook (a public university in a well known and widely used textbook). It had to do with electromagnetic emissions stuff. You can find the term and definition all over the place. It's online, it's in books, it's even been released in FOIA documents.

But technically it was never downgraded and is still considered Secret and so my teammate got in trouble and we had to go through the pointless exercise of sanitizing our entire IT infrastructure of this info that is all over the internet and bookstores. Good use of resources.

“Accidentally”

As if China,North Korea,Iran and Russia didn’t know already.

“ The details included classified locations of nuclear weapons on bases, and secret code and duress words that are supposed to be only known to members of the military. ”

Omg.what is going on?!!

After Gomer Pyle the quality drifted decidedly downward.

Pyle: "Shazaam. They shoulda been a lot more careful."

“This isn’t exactly a revelation.”

Just a look at the security and fence configuration will tell you what’s there. Just like I used to be able to pick out the weapons transport vehicles running between PanTex and Oak Ridge on I-40.

Erdogan is not going to be happy. He already thinks the nukes on the base in Turkey belong to him.
