Forgive my ignorance here, but when they say in the story that this stuff isn't lost, it just isn't where it's supposed to be, isn't that like me saying I didn't lose my socks, they were just in the silverware drawer?

Then is becomes a question of who is putting the stuff in these random places?

It may as well have been lost since no one really knew where it was.

Gen LeMay is probably rolling over in his grave knowing what has become of his offspring [Strategic Air Command].  Had this happened anytimg before LeMay's retirement those senior officers and NCOs would never have achieved the rank they now hold.  Chances are they would have been shown the back gate at the base in the middle of the night so no one would know.

LeMAy would have had them in Jail no questions asked. Nuclear security is nothing t obe lax about . It doesn't matter whats involved. You don't get second chances or at least you didn't used to .
