willard 0 #6 September 5, 2007 I assumed that was what he meant, but with Kallend one never knows for sure. He could have posted the link to show everyone how checks are in place to find missing weapons, or maybe to instill confidence in others that these checks do work.

But at least we didn't drop them on Spain, Greenland, or off the coast of Georgia ... this time. Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

No, if kallend posted it, it's a sure bet that it's just routine America-bashing or Republican-bashing. Of course, he'll deny that, since he almost never actually posts a personal opinion. He likes deniability like that. That way, he doesn't have to spend time defending his opinion. He'll just claim; "I didn't say that!". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,611 #9 September 5, 2007 Funny, the way that Republican bashing is the same as pinko-commie America bashing, but Democrat bashing is good ol'boy Patriotism (with a capital P). Mmm, funny.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the amusing/disturbing part about the accounts; that the W80-1 were not discovered to be missing until discovered/recovered when the aircraft arrived in Barksdale.

birdshit 0 #11 September 7, 2007 QuoteFunny, the way that Republican bashing is the same as pinko-commie America bashing, but Democrat bashing is good ol'boy Patriotism (with a capital P). Mmm, funny. Agreed. I am a liberal democrat, and proud of it. When I hear the republicans on this board go on and on about democrats like we are scum, it makes me laugh. The people voted. Yall got your asses handed to ya. Accept it. Nowadays they are so busy just defending their own crooked officials that they can't even come up with a decent "tree hugger/prius driver/gay/whatever" rant. it reminds me of the jocks in high school that pick on the smart kids. It would be nice of there was a real debate about issues instead of mindless party bashing. Especially when the basis of the argument is "if you don't agree with me then you are unpatriotic. yer un'mericun". Last I checked, the GOP was supposed to be about individual liberty (including the right of dissent), smaller government and fiscal responsibility. Right? So why are we all such obedient little puppets that support bush, make the government bigger and deficit spend like mad without ever asking WTF is going on up there in the white house? They look, but the propaganda machine says, "move along, nothing to see here" and they blindly obey, cause of you don't agree, you are un'merican... The democrat bashers don't know what they are, because they attack the idea of democrats, not any real issues. Probably, the main reason for this is that being republican is a lot easier than thinking, and somehow the gop has convoinced half the people out there (29% at least) that democrats are all gay, weak, liberals that want to cut and run. They are swift-boating the whole democratic party by controlling the media and running a huge propaganda machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the plane comes rolling up and the ground crew was like... Uhhh, aren't those nuclear missiles? I bet somebody gets reamed over that one...

Jasmin 0 #13 October 20, 2007 Quote I bet somebody gets reamed over that one... Yep: 5th munitions squadron commander, 5th Wing commander (also Minot installation commander) 5th maintenance group commander, and 2nd operations group commander. Additionally, 65 Airmen have been decertified in the personnel reliability program. And lastly, the 5th Bomb Wing has been suspended from all tactical ferry mission and decert. from handling adv cruise missiles. By admitting the error, Air Force secretary Wynne made an exception to the usual US policy of not confirming the location of US nuclear weapons.

After further investigation, it appears this thread was trampled by Quade's post on the same subject which was written nearly 7 hours later. Why?
