Air Force strips 17 officers of power to launch nuclear missiles (Obama, military)

[All American NYC]

In an unprecedented move, the U.S. Air Force has quietly stripped 17 officers of the authority to order the launch of nuclear missiles.....“We are, in fact, in a crisis right now,” said the base commander, Lt. Col. Jay Fields...He also said the unit was experiencing “rot” in its ranks,...In April, upper brass began quietly stripping the 17 officers from power to control missile launches, CBS reported.

I guess they were not Obamanites.

And a "guess" is all it would be. It says right in your link that they weren't qualified.
Do you want people who aren't properly trained carrying these responsibilities?

So review of this responsibility is not a good thing? is there really a point to this thread? Interesting how the OP blames Obama.. oh guess it didn't really matter what the issue good or bad, blame obama... sorry I missed the memo. Lemmings carry on

So you mean that people who aren't qualified shouldn't be able to get the job? That pretty much shatters the left's grandiose vision of utopia through diversity. How do you feel when police or fire departments lower standards to allow lesser qualified candidates to get hired? How about when military academies lower standards to admit less qualified applicants? That's rhetorical BTW.....

Whatever that is.

Oh dear...sometimes the truth really hurts.

How the hell are you trying to link this to Obama?

[SourD]

Yeah they weren't qualified...Yeah right, they just figured this out? Don't believe the partisan hype here. The upper brass is just trying to get rid of the ones who WOULD launch a retaliatory attack. They don't want us nuking anyone back if we get nuked.
