News Regarding Nuclear Material Disconcerting

Air Force Investigating Cocaine Use at Nuclear Missile Base

"The coked-up airmen in question are, reassuringly, not the people who have their fingers on the literal button required to begin a nuclear war. But they are, scarily, the people tasked with defending the 150 Minuteman III ICBMs (each with an explosive yield roughly eight times greater than the bomb that leveled Hiroshima)... they’re crucial to the operation and safety of America’s vast nuclear stockpile:"

My Comments About The Article AboveI certainly hope they've been replaced. I not sure how they are suppose to "defend" our ICBMs, but apparently the gates to the hen house have been compromised by these dopers. Anyone who assumes this kind of responsibly and does this deserves to be punished to the max. There's no excuse for it.

Stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium big enough to make FIFTY nuclear bombs to be shipped to US from Japan after it was loaned for research
Matt Hunter For Mailonline

"Some 730 pounds of plutonium will be sent by 'an armed British nuclear transport ship... under armed escort to the United States."

My Comments About The Article AboveIt was stated, "The material will be disposed of in the United States." Yeah Ok, what exactly does "disposed of" mean?

Alls I knows is if or until we find a way to render the radioactivity inactive it will remain a threat for thousands of years, It's too dangerous to try and launch it into space or bury it in a hole somewhere in one of our states. Mankind on this Earth can find more ways to annihilate themselves...
As if the universe doesn't pose enough of a threat!
