The story is completely bogus. Enlisted airmen don’t turn keys, never did.

No onsite personnel, enlisted or officers, in the launch chain of command, have ever been aware of targeting.

Let’s get our oars in the water here. All these scenarios were well thought out before this is claimed to have happened.

Notice how the tops of the silos are flush at grade? In the case of an accidental or mutiny launch sequence, APC’s get parked on top.

The Mace was on a launch truck, not in a vertical missile silo. It was a cruise missile.

WTF?? There aren't enough SAT teams to do that and never an APC anywhere.
