Three ballistic missile crew members in North Dakota fell asleep while holding classified launch code devices this month, triggering an investigation by military and National Security Agency experts, the Air Force said Thursday.
The probe found that the missile launch codes were outdated and remained secure at all times. But the July 12 incident comes on the heels of a series of missteps by the Air Force that had already put the service under intense scrutiny.
Is the USAF strategic side of things falling apart due to crap leadership? This on top of failed nuclear security earlier, and their stupidity and intransigence in the UAV area spells big trouble - no wonder they sacked a lot of AF leadersip a while back. Bring Back SAC! (and SAC standards). Or maybe its time to put the USAF back under the Army again.
