Problems with poor morale on missile bases? The second in command at Stratcom[1] with gambling problems? Looks like we need to take humans out of the loop when it comes to nuclear decision making.

[1] Strategic Command - in charge of, amongst other things, global strike and strategic deterrence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Strategic_Command http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Strategic_Command
