Report: Nuke inspection improperly documented
Report: Nuke inspection improperly documented
By Mead Gruver - The Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Air Force officials say the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base improperly documented an inspection of nuclear missiles in December.

A spokeswoman for the Cheyenne base, 2nd Lt. Brooke Brzozowske, said Friday that inspectors identified “deficiencies in several areas” during the inspection. Jennifer Thibault, spokeswoman for the U.S. Air Force Space Command, said the problems included “administrative and paperwork issues” related to the inspection.

The spokeswomen declined to elaborate, citing Defense Department policy for such inspections. A statement from Brzozowske said Space Command leadership remained confident that directors of the 90th Missile Wing would correct the problems.

“There is no margin for error in nuclear operations. The benefits of this careful examination are paramount to continued reliability and confidence in our nuclear enterprise,” the statement said.

The 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren oversees dozens of silo-based Minuteman missiles in southeast Wyoming and northern Colorado.

1. Incompetence handling nuclear weapons - well that's just great

Nowhere have I seen a reasonable explanation WHY the USA was transporting nukes across the continent

makes me wonder

WHERE are the nukes they've moved around that nobody caught them doing it??

I DO NOT believe this is the first time they've moved nukes around

like hey . .

think about it

the first time I got caught drinking and driving?

It wasn't the first time I did it!!

something to ponder . .
