      In 1986 activists from the Red River Peace Network purchased 20 acres (81,000 m2) adjacent to Pantex to create the "Peace Farm", described as "a visible witness against weapons of mass destruction." Its staff and board organized events, rallies, and gatherings opposing nuclear weapons through the 1990s and now organizes events related to the environment, nuclear proliferation and waste disposal, and peace issues.

      imagine living under threat of nuclear annihilation and thinking what's needed is "raising awareness" by buying yourselves a farm

      Next you'll tell me that the Air Force academy is in the evangelical hot spot of Colorado Springs which heavily infiltrates it to the point of scandal. That the silos are tucked away into the backwoods of evangelical states with few guards and compromised officers.
