A coworker of mine is close with some Air Force captains and higher ups. He went to an event this weekend and when talking with them he learned that they are not permitted to transport nukes anymore because of some pretty colossal fuck ups. Usually when transporting nukes/warheads it’s a big convoy, soldiers, helicopters, police, etc. Well recently they fucked up and did none of that. Just sent some semis loaded up with warheads along with no protection or anything. Upon one trucks arrival to a base, they didn’t even know what it was and just let it sit on base for a while. One truck allegedly broke down at a truck stop and sat there for days. The level of gross incompetence is funny to me. I have no sources for this info.. just word of mouth. But I don’t believe my coworker would just make that shit up for no reason.
That would be very funny and entirely in line with my expectations of the US military.
The word on the street regarding the ICBM squadrons for a long time has been that their morale is extremely low, probably because they work long hours doing nothing and if they ever did have to do their job it would be an extinction-level event. The smart thing to do really is to get rid of all of the nukes because the chances of an accident are higher than the chances of ever actually needing to use them.
