It is NOT just about the number of nukes we have it is about the very old technology that drives it . Some of our delivery / launch systems are reliant on floppy discs to launch them .
Many of our bunkers are rusting into poor condition . Sixty -Minutes covered these issues within the past year . In fact there is a particular wrench that is necessary to tighten certain parts on
a particular type of launch vehicle that is in such short supply that the crews have to send it from one to another via Fed-Ex .
