If you cannot stand up to the mob, because they are your irregular soldiers who have slipped the leash, there is not much you can do. If Milley becomes anymore of a sad dick, he might just order the military attache to hand it over to the Democrat irregulars.

My mistake. I thought it was the George Floyd Rioters that almost got the nuclear football.. I still stand by my assertion that Milley would give it to them.
The Capital Hill "rioters" came near the football? Trump was not at the Capital. Pence was. Pence was never in danger. The Capital was evacuated due to a bomb scare.
The 1st so called rioter was given an 8 month sentence for obstruction. What did he do? Delete his Facebook page? Process crimes are not just for Scooter Libby anymore.
You cannot secure a nuclear football in a country like this:
