“When you instituted the human reliability tests, you *assured* me there was *no* possibility of such a thing *ever* occurring!”
“Well, I, uh, don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir”

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke

’twas wondering how long before this hit the streets — fellow worker with me is a former Buff B/N who’d spent a healthy bit of time @ Barksdale. When we read the first reports, well, we thought the Wing Cdr would be toast, right off the bat…but just the munitions squadron cdr?

Nice preflight by the crew…
I’d like to think if I had a nuke on board, I’d catch it on the walk around.
As my Drill Instructor, GYSGT Jones, USMC used to say, “Attention to detail girls, it may save your life someday. Then again, maybe it won’t.”

When that damage report comes in, a lot more people will get assigned to scenic air force weather observation posts in Alaska, I’ll bet.
