I sit corrected. Doesn’t speak well of the US Air Farce, does it?

The only time nuclear armed aircraft are suppose to be in the skies over the US are when they are flying to targets overseas. B-52′s haven’t flown with nuclear weapons on board since the 1960′s when the lost one in the Atlantic Ocean by Spain. They B-52′s only sat ground alert until Bush-1 stood down the alert force around 1991. I worked nuclear armed bombers for 13 years at two different SAC bases and NEVER did I see one fly with nukes on board. We knew if we saw a nuclear armed alert aircraft take off, the only thing left to do was kiss your butt good-by because WWIII just started and we were already targeted.

Somebody just plain screwed up big time in this. I can’t fathom nukes just being transported to the aircraft without anyone knowing what was going on. Their was no leaker on this, only complacency and stupidity.

This isn’t the first time the USAF has ‘mislaid’ some nukes. However its the first time I’ve ever seen it in the news. In addition there are at least two ‘lost nukes’. One is in a swamp in SC and another in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Spain and those are just the one’s I know of.
Nukes are like anything else, familiarity breeds contempt and contempt breeds carelessness. I know most people have seen a weapon fire after it was ‘unloaded’ and someone was cleaning it. That’s how it works with nukes as well.

Which means the USAF was doing what it was told when it was told and, that, somehow, the information got LEAKED.

It is the LEAKER that should be lined up against a wall and shot.

Okay. Permit me, if I might, for stating what I consider to be the obvious. Because, naturally, I come from an entirely different generation than the ones now.

My first response: why would we EVER acknowledge what aircraft were carrying nukes, and where, and when?

Why and/or how would this somehow become Public Knowledge?

But, Fred, did they do this unknowingly — or did it somehow get LEAKED?

Instead of A, I would suspect B.

I go back to my original Conspiracy Theorist Algorithm:

There ARE no conspiracies. Because, essentially, two Hells Angels can keep a secret when one is dead.

Being a grunt I can only speculate, but there has got to be a lot of people involved with the ‘hands on’ part getting that sort of thing loaded up.

And no one caught it before the bomber took off.

Simply amazing…
