BREAKING NEWS: 37 Nuclear Missile Launch Officers in Scandal

Just saw on the Shepard Smith Show on Fox News that 37 Nuclear Missile Launch Officers are involved in a wide scandal.

3 Officers are accused of possessing drugs and 34 are being accused of cheating on a Nuclear Missile Certification Test. The report was vague but there was no mention of these officers be discharged. Shepard Smith said at the end of the segment that the 34 officers caught in the cheating scandal will have to take the test again.

Hmmm this wouldn't have to do with the reported missing nuke heads out of Texas?? Or the firing of 2 top officers in charge of the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal???

2014 is starting out realllly strangeeeeeeeeeee!!

Eek!!

That's all I need to say.

Sounds like a good old fashioned barn cleaning, to me.

I certainly hope not though it wouldn't be the first time that a wmd had disappeared. My grandfather was sent to the UK decades ago in a search for a missing atomic bomb so it definitely happens. It's pretty disappointing that there are these issues within the missile launch officers because the importance of such a position requires that they be of a higher quality. Overall, I'm glad it was uncovered and hope that the USAF works to resolve both issues to eradicate the drug issues and the method that was used to cheat on the tests.

How certain are you that the officers being fired were for the reasons the media is telling us? What if these officers actually were trying to stop the moving of the missiles that was ordered by a "higher power"?? What if they were defying orders to save our lives??

In that case, I don't believe you would hear anything about it.

Just slightly dodgy, considering they've all already proven they are dishonest and untrustworthy...but it's only nuclear weapons, what could possibly go wrong eh?

How does Alex Jones really get this type of info?

Were those two missing nukes the ones that are supposed to have gone awry in California recently?

There are plenty of threads that talk about the secret cabal of "real Mericans" versus nwo military types that have the smart on their side.
They even fought a war in underground bases and that's what the USGS picked up as earthquakes. 0_o

This is a much needed purge of the military of the chaff that has somehow risen to the top. Cannon fodder that can barely read is one thing. Idiots placed in charge of the most dangerous weapons that we know of...that is something else entirely. And maybe they should investigate the Navy too while they are at it.

Actually, let me apologize, I just read the 34 lost their certification but their futures are unknown.

No problem, thanks for clarifying.

Apparently, 3 warheads were moved to TX to SC. The 2 top officials were fired for illegal gambling and acting dishonorable while visiting Russia.

I agree.

It makes sense.

The media always has to go along with a cover up.

Ok..thank you.

I suppose the fear is, running up massive gambling debts could make you a little 'pliable' to the worng people...or even the wrong people.

Of course they would tell the public. Their version has to be told first before one of them starts spilling the beans but I'm sure these officers were told to go along with the media version "or else".

I found this a while back. This is a list, not a work. I have no link.

One General, who was fired because he was caught cheating at Blackjack at an Indian casino, brought it on himself for sure. I don't know how many officers were removed from command by previous presidents, but this list alone seems like too many to not serve another purpose.

157 [ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN] Air Force majors forced into early terminations, no retirement or benefits.
All 157 had been twice passed over for promotion and were within six years of retirement.

That one really bugs me, but I don't know if it's true. 157 AF Majors cut out? Sounds like cost-saving downsizing, but the question remains... Who is replacing these officers, and what do they have that the original 157 didn't?

reply to post by Mon1k3r


Politics is almost always the cause of reshuffling or mass firings, etc. Different power groups struggling for control so they exhale people from opposing sides. Then you have people who play both sides, or opportunists.

The thing is though, usually allegations made have truth to them and everyone has something that could ruin their career. When you look at it overall it kind of just says, "Yeah, we're totally inept."

Or totally corrupt, depending on how you look at it.

A wild guess..they probably don't have pension benefits coming to them within 6 or 7 years.

Sounds just ducky for the guy who spends most of his active life dedicated to the service of his choice, only to have that service spew him out short of retirement.
I am thinking this kind of cashiering wholesale would be demoralizing as hell for anybody still in uniform.
The evidence seems to point to a heartless government that is taking advantage of the technicalities to rid itself of future pension payments....thus these ex warriors get shat on twice....they loose their vocation, and their retirement too.....Thank you for your service ................sucker!
