Reefa Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 34 US Air Force nuclear missile launch officers have been accused of cheating on tests by texting each other answers. The monthly exams are designed to gauge the officers' abilities to operate the missiles, and the Associated Press reports that those involved have since been stripped of their certification. The AP says the event is "believed to be the largest such breach of integrity in the nuclear force." The situation may also be linked to a drug investigation involving 11 different officers across the US and UK. This is far from the first controversy for the nuclear missile program, however. Last October, the Air Force fired the general in charge of nuclear missiles citing a "loss of trust and confidence." Later that month it was revealed that officers left important blast doors open on two occasions, potentially compromising the security of their underground command center.

Ambrocious Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Very glad they have been stripped of thier certification. Having power over nuclear missiles is no small task.EDIT: I might add that if this story is true they got what they deserved but if they are being purged, that is another thing altogether. There is a purge going on in our military as far as I have heard, anyone not willing to betray the USA is being kicked out.
