I conclude the mad narcissist in the WH has a pressing objective behind his long list of recent military officer dismissals. The paranoid power hungry narcissist realizes that those who have their fingers on the nuke triggers are his greatest threat. He desperately needs to know that these military officers are unwaveringly under his dictatorial control. His paranoia peaked last October when his false flag event went haywire as three flag grade officers actually put country ahead of his unlawful nuke deployment order. There is even speculation that two of the three nukes are still out there somewhere and out of Obummer’s control. So the plan now is to quickly rid himself of all possible disloyal types and replace them with only those officers who pass his litmus test - possess an unquestioning willingness to kill Americans on his order. Once he replaces these officers with his loyal Nazis, he can confidently rely on being able to use the taxpayers’ nuclear arsenal to blackmail the country into submission when the public wakes up one morning to his indeterminate dictatorial reign. Of course, his job is made much easier by the NSA, which has become Obummer’s personal dirt devil vacuum, sucking up dirt on everyone he labels as untrustworthy or the enemy.

Perhaps the test is only given to these bases? Do we even know what the test is about? Is is some new _equal_opportunity_ test or a legitimate skills test?

Missile Combat Crews have, as a minimum, three training days per month. The First is a full day of Emergency War Orders (EWO) training and testing. This is to make sure they remain competent in the procedures for receiving and processing the messages used for day to day and wartime operations, to include launch orders. The EWO test requires a minimum of 90% to pass and there is a fierce competition for people to maintain a long streak of 100% in testing.

The second training day consists of a Codes class and test and a weapons systems class and test.

Codes are hardware based items within the launch control system that ensures the systems cannot be hacked and verifies system integrity. The Weapons System test keeps the crews current on troubleshooting malfunctions and also updates any changed procedures within the system.

The third day is a six hour "ride" in the Missile Procedures Trainer (MPT). The MPT is an exact copy of a Launch Control Center and has a hidden control area where instructors can input malfunction scenarios so the crews can keep current on their procedures and to give them a view of malfunctions and other operational items that rarely or have never yet occurred so they know how to handle those situations. half of this trainer ride is EWO and the crews go through a ramp up to war and a launch scenario.

Remember, these occur every month and they crews must show very high competency on every one of these subjects or they are decertified and not allowed to pull Alerts at the real Launch Control Centers (a career ender).

Like the cheating all of the military academies currently engage in having broken their Honor Codes?

“We will not lie, cheat nor steal, nor tolerate those who do.”

Who thinks the framers of those words would not consider homosexuality cheating?

Oh, no, how would we survive if things like that started happening. It would be awful.
