Though there are aspects of this that are more Mel Brooks than Tom Clancy, this should cause people in positions of responsibility for our strategic defense to pause and ponder.
We don’t hire enough imaginative thinkers, and the clock watchers and pension counters who seem to do most of the domestic risk mitigation work have never met with a functional Red Team.
You can only go so far with physical security outside the base fence because we live, thankfully, in a very free country relative to other places in the world, and there are few open spaces left around. Risk will always be there, or if you squint hard enough, it seems to be there.
The below is just amazing when you consider we only have 19 B-2 Spirit bombers, and they are all at this one base. You don’t have to be a fiction writer to script this out, and it raises the question, “How many more vulnerabilities are there like this?”
