Well I thought a toss a update about this little incident, and from the latest article 70 people have been fired, decertified. Which includes 4 officers, one of the being a colonel and 65 airmen with various ranks from the looks of it. But what really gets me is the reason why they did it,

QUOTE
A main reason for the error was that crews had decided not to follow a complex schedule under which the status of the missiles is tracked while they are disarmed, loaded, moved and so on, one official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

The airmen replaced the schedule with their own "informal" system, he said, though he didn't say why they did that nor how long they had been doing it their own way.


From the looks of it they been doing this a long time if they forgot what a nuke looks like or this would have never happen. Of course I doubt any one will get kicked out the military for this little incident just because of the current situation and they need all the soldiers they can have for this war on terror.

I stand corrected. While I maintain that something still stinks about this story, in re-reading it I can imagine the scenario they're selling to the public. While it's a bit disconcerting that something like this could happen, I stress there was never any danger of the nukes actually exploding at any time. So, while interesting, it's little more than a trivial diversion from real news that's going on that actually matters like, for instance, there is a housing bubble like ours in China that's collapsing just like ours and that could add to the depressed state of the global economy....
