'This is insane': SecDef Chuck Hagel confirms multiple NUCLEAR missile bases shared single wrench















◼ Three US missile bases had to SHARE a wrench, Hagel admits as he orders top-to-bottom changes in nuke force - David Martosko, US Political Editor for MailOnline
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel admitted on Friday that three U.S. nuclear missile bases in North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana were so badly managed that they had to share a wrench used to tighten warheads to the business end of Minuteman 3 missiles.

'How did they do it? They did it by federal expressing the one wrench around to each base,' Hagel told reporters Friday morning during a press conference called to introduce new system-wide reforms affecting the nation's entire intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal.

'They were creative and innovative and they made it work. But that is not the way to do it. We now have a wrench for each location. We're going to have two for each location soon.'

The three facilities in question house about 450 nuclear missiles.


◼ We’re afraid to ask if there’s a hammer and screwdriver available at each base. - Twitchy
