Shades of Dr. Strangelove
A bomber with 6 cruise missiles having atomic warheads under the wings flies across the USA from North Dakota to Louisiana:
The plane took the cruise missiles from Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale Air Force Base for decommissioning Thursday, the Air Force said.Good job they didn’t drop off – imagine the chaos a perceived atomic attack would have set off, when you think what a bag of flour or a flashing circuit board can do…“This is a major gaffe, and it’s going to cause some heads to roll down the line,” said Don Shepperd, a retired Air Force major general and military analyst for CNN.
The warheads should have been removed from the missiles before they were attached to the B-52 bomber, according to military officials.
