Driving home, the radio said that at some recent time the USAF was down to a single 'special wrench' to attach weapons to wing pylons. And they were FedEx-ing it back and forth between the bases. Now they have one for each base, and soon even two!
What if the public could know everything that the military, lab scientists, engineers and techs and the production plant staff know? A sort of weapons complex perestroika? Could the NNSA survive even that? Time has begun to do its work, the congress and the NNSA have characteristically ignored issues, but time is running out for them. The weapons are aging, the sites are poorly maintained, moral is low and the NNSA has a very poor relationship with everyone. I cannot see this going well without some extraordinary leadership. Lets hope that whats past is not prologue for the NNSA.

Could you make this stuff up?

Actually the top post has absolutely nothing to do with the NNSA.
