Are you freaking kidding me?
"A B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states last week, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.
Rep. Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called the mishandling of the weapons “deeply disturbing” and said the committee would press the military for details. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the Homeland Security committee, said it was “absolutely inexcusable.”
How, I say how, do you accidently fly a B-52 bomber with SIX nuclear warheads over multiple states! How did those nuclear bombs even get onto that B-52!?!?!
And you know their had to be more then just one person who knew about this. What, the whole entire crew on the airplane didn't know what cargo they were carrieing?
You'd think a commander in our US Army wouldn't make a big mistake as this.
“The American people, our friends, and our potential adversaries must be confident that the highest standards are in place when it comes to our nuclear arsenal.”
Yup, this situation sure proves that they handle nukes with care, doesnt it?
