Caught On Tape: U.S. Army Jeep Rear-Ends A Nuke
With helicopters hovering overhead, and surrounded by an army of security forces, this is how America transports its nuclear weapons. However, as this onlooker captures, amid police harrassment for filming, it appears one of the military trucks was just a little too close and rear-ends a truck carrying a nuclear missile.
As the person recording exclaimed, "The crazy thing is that the fed pulled over and was yelling and waving his hands that I can't record this video. And then a truck rear-ended the nuke."
The incident appears to have taken place in Great Falls, Montana:
If this happens on a well maintained street in America, one can imagine the probability of a "happy ending" involving US and Russian fighter jets flying over Syria...

There was only a limited number of us that were given a test. Basically they got a list of everyone that got awesome scores before enlisting and gave those individuals the test. The 3 of us that made the grade all said yes to the prep school and the CO did nothing. He was just some dipshit captain that probably hated West Point so did not do the paperwork on purpose or maybe just did not care. We never so him, so he was definately not into the assignement that he got.
Since the guy above called my claim bullshit I did a search on the internet and found that the pre school still exists and here's the website.

Well that’s interesting and I’ll have to retract 1 bullshit point. It seems West Point does have a high school level prep program. However, I can assure you someone was blowing smoke up your ass about you almost getting in except for the CO dropping the ball. Even if that were the case I’m certain you would have had a long and hard selection process to get through before making it into that program. I imagine they added the option to select enlisted soldiers just in case there’s one they really wanted, such as a well-known athlete, someone with political connections, or someone that’s proven themselves and/or gained national recognition. Just scoring high on the ASVAB isn’t going to get you in. As you found out, once you enlist they have you by the balls. Without a contract you have nothing, and even then you have to pass every requirement they throw at you.
Anyway, no hard feelings. I’ll agree with your point about you being better off getting out. With all the crap brewing now you’re better off being a civilian and getting prepared to weather the inevitable economic/societal storm that’s coming rather than getting killed or maimed for some bullshit cause. Even making it through unscathed could pan out badly if there’s a huge draw down into a bad economy where you’d have little time to establish a job/career/business.
Bullshit. I was surprised on a flight with a bunch of Navy SeaBee's though. I thought they would all be super ripped.
No harm, no foul I guess though. One would think the follow distance specified would be a bigger.
LOL! Bunch of Gomer Pyles.

Could they have made their convoy any more conspicuous? How about a big sign on the truck saying "WMD INSIDE: TERRORISTS, DO NOT ATTACK!!!".
There is something to "security to obscurity".
Too funny! And those dumb, stupid animals are all too willing to go along with it!
I'm sure they put up "terrorist free zone" signs along the route just to be safe.
They should have transported it inside Hillary Clinton's snatch.
There is no one on this planet that wants to hit that!!
Wowsers.
For all you heroes who think you're so smart: Warheads are not transported intact. Missiles are not transported with complete warheads.
Yea, yea and there is no fuse in them either.
Does not matter. It still takes special kind of stupid to be this careless with a nuclear device.
It takes a special kind of stupid to make a statement such as yours. So sure of yourself, huh? How do you know with certainty nukes are even real? What, did that magickical box in your living room tell you that? Or have you seen the "nuke test" MOVIES made at Lookout Mountain studios on Laurel Canyon in CA which "prove" nukes are real?
I will admit that I personally have never test driven a nuclear weapon.
It does not matter if the nukes were real to not. You train as if they are real, regardless.
Obviously my comment hit some kind of nerve.
Now do the world a favor and take up skydiving. Do it with the same attitude as you have towards nuclear materials.
That's been stated several times already - by me and others... This is a fun thread... Pour a drink and join in. Why so serious???
It's just a scratch, it'll polish out.
How could the driver of the lead truck be so stupid as to not know the photographer was not violating any laws by phographing the circus?
The Minot to Barksdale "curse"!
And to think these fuckers are the people we count on to save our asses....no thanks,
Speak for yourself. I wouldn't count on these fuckers to save my cat's ass. Learn to live without government.
Russia had a muke with Obamas name written on it..............I suppose it would be fitting to for the US to write Here Is Your Gold and their nuke
So, this is the comedy group that's going to take on the Russian Army.
It's my understanding that in the US military every man involved gets awarded a medal at this point, no?
Yes, it is called the McCain Medal of Chaos.
fuck traitoris army
i heard obama gets rear ended all the time....
In Slow-Mo - On the back of the truck...
If you can read this sign, your balls will fall off in 6 months.
Armored car.
Not jeep.
Can't be an Army Nuke in MONTANA. Because there never were many tactical nukes fired by artillery rockets...and those that existed are no longer fissionable. And those that may or may not exist would not be stored in a border state.
BUT...
The Air Force moves its nukes around a lot.
And after GEN Moseley was fired because the nukes were moved by air, the AF now moves them via truck.
Gee. Great thinking there.
It is best when moving NUCLEAR FRICKING WEAPONS to stay as far away as possible from anything it is possible to collide with.
Yep, USAF. Looks like very minor bump. They are probably told to tailgate for some kind of security reason.:

Minutemen IIIs stationed around there, so probably a warhead from one.
I'd tap that.
I guess that's why the convoy master was always screaming 'Maintain your MuthaFcking "Interval"!'
America sits contended on the false assurance of safety from nuclear weapons.
No waste to the mountain. That solar flare is overdue. Waste is stored near all the plants. Had a principal engineer tell me that. He works for a company that designed the things. Once the diesel runs out its melt down everywhere. Harry Reid! What a genius.
