LIKE I SAID IT'S CONTROL THAT THE ILLUMINATI WANTS THEY HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, THEY WANT CONTROL AND THEY WANT THE WORLD TO BOW DOWN TO THEM FOR SECURITY AND HUMAN NEEDS. SOUND'S CRAZZY!

It seems true that he just wants a story to make a name for himself without really knowing how things work.  As a missileer, I know this incident happened during what's known as a code change.  The old codes taken from the launch control center (LCC) would do no damage to anything since they were obsolete.  The codes were stored in a code handling container with 2 locks on it and the container was in a room on a missile alert facility (MAF).  The MAF is guarded by people with guns... good luck to anyone trying to get access.  There is no way anyone could get access to those obsolete codes.  With that said... the crew members were wrong to fall asleep but with one crew member awake... the others would be woken instantly if something went wrong on the MAF which it didn't.  BTW... the crew members are officers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2008 6:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nuclear Missile Launch Code Guards Found Dozing on the Job]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</guid><description><![CDATA[I didn't know they hired Mexicans]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2008 6:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nuclear Missile Launch Code Guards Found Dozing on the Job]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bush is a screw up so what can you expect from these guards.<br>And I bet those launch codes were good....<br>Can't beleive the goverment..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Casy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2008 7:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nuclear Missile Launch Code Guards Found Dozing on the Job]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/25/nuclear-missile-guards-found-dozing-on-the-job/</guid><description><![CDATA[Forget the sleeping guards.

Guys upstairs with outdated codes are no big deal.  The only thing compromised (if someone had stolen the locked box) would be the format and construction of the code documents which is already known by anyone having previously served on a launch crew (bomber or missile).
