What do you think about the top Nuclear commanders being fired ?

over the Top Secret Nuclear rockets that were flown from North Dakota ,all across the United States then finally landed in Louisana? this did happen and was reported but no one is saying anything from the White house about this , Why is that? the Top Commanders have been fired, so apparently the Commander in Chief knows , why does he not say anything to the Nation?

    I can only comment that I want a person with sound decision making skills and the confidence of his superiors and subordinates. Apparently, his superiors do not have confidence in him any longer for reasons unknown. But, we're talking nukes here. Lets error on the side of caution

    What Wraeth and Anon say.

    The White said a lot about the old incident - a bunch of Officers were fired, to include the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Air Force, over this and several other incidents ... at the time.

    Flash forward, there have only been tow incidents involving senior Officers who are involved in nuclear weapons: one got fired over using 1500 bucks of counterfeit chips, and the other over some sort of personal issue that has not been leaked yet. The White House was involved in the first incident as the Officer was a three-star and only the President can fire three and four start officers. The Air Force has taken care of the second case internally as the Officer was only two-star.

    Why should the White House say anything more about any of this.

    The incident where missiles were mistakenly flown to Louisiana from North Dakota happened in 2007, the 17 officers in North Dakota that were relieved of duty due to a leaked email occurred in April or May of this year, and the General that was caught with counterfeit gambling chips happened just recently. All of these incidents were heavily reported on and created large disturbances throughout the Air Force.

    The incident you are referring to happened nearly a decade ago. It was all over the news at the time. Where have you been?

    If you are referrencing this:http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE99A0KG201...

    Then as you can plainly see the two incidents are NOT connected. MG Carey wasn't even in command back then.

    I've seen nothing about any alleged rockets being fired. They were removed from duty because they were committing conduct that the military prohibits.....specifically involving alcohol and gambling.
