Those responsible for this mishap were certainly not thinking straight or something. Now I guess they'll pay the price for their negligence. I did not think the military fired people I thought they would courts martial you for dereliction of duty or something to that effect  just shows what I know lol. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

The Air Force said there was never any danger to the public because the weapons are designed with multiple safety features that ensure the warheads do not detonate accidentally. Ummm... Never say never. Whatever about the safety features of the darn things. What if scenario... someone was doing dealings with someone with nefarious ideas about this country. It's been known to happen. There are terrorist cells in this country. What if... someone had a mental condition? It has been known to happen. Remember the NASA incident? She completely slipped by their watch didn't she? I am not being a "Debbie Downer", but I think we need to realize that this world has changed. Whoever was supposed to be minding the arms should be in trouble. _________________ Established member 25+ posts Joint Operations partner Staff Officer M.S.T.[Reserve Corps Charlie Company Roadie You can always catch me around: To visit my sites please click the hyper links below MySpace The Rec Room The Roadhouse "In The End, Only Kindness Matters" - Jewel

You can get "Fired" from a "Position" you hold like "Commander of a Squadron" etc, but you can't be fired from the Military per say, you are correct, there is a trial by courts marshal and if found guilty you can be "discharged". _________________ Administrator Forum Chairman Joint Chiefs [Staff CO] Commanding Officer[CO] Forum awards comity Moderator Staff Company staff officer M.S.T.
