Quote of the Day – Burden Sharing w/Alcohol Edition

Through the years, I worked with other people, aircraft and weapons, ranging from a hand-picked team of perfectionists developing the B-2 bomber, to an unmotivated group of foreign military transcripts at an undisclosed NATO base, complete with an alcoholic commander and about 20 nuclear weapons. Those weapons have since been relocated. I’d like to tell you more, but it would be both unwise and illegal.

Brent Hoffman, a former military officer and Pentagon 9/11 survivor, writing about his experience with nuclear weapons in the Sioux City Journal, August 21, 2011

UPDATE 8/25: Jeffrey Lewis provides some additional details over at Armscontrolwonk. Turns out Hoffman was at a NATO base in Greece, where U.S. nukes were stored until 2001.
