    I have reasonable confidence in our military commanders

    I don’t. Aside from all of the other questionable things that they have done over the decades, they lost at least six nuclear weapons that we know of. Let that sink in.

      they didn’t lose them by launching them at someplace… for all of their flaws, which abound, I agree, I’m reasonably certain that those in the chain of command responsible for shooting them off wouldn’t do so for some bananas, insane reason if ordered to do so. some of them may be stupid, but I don’t think that they’re crazy.
