The U.S. military said it tested an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile Tuesday to "validate and verify" the nuclear weapon system’s effectiveness and safety.
The test was conducted at 12:49 a.m. PT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California.
"These test launches demonstrate the readiness of U.S. nuclear forces and provide confidence in the lethality and effectiveness of the nation’s nuclear deterrent," said Col. Bryan Titus, vice commander of Space Launch Delta 30.

..."The Department of the Air Force recently cancelled the routinely planned test flight of an LGM-30G Minuteman III missile," the Defense Department’s deputy press secretary, Todd Breasseale, said at the time. "The launch had been previously delayed due to an overabundance of caution to avoid misinterpretation or miscommunication during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine."
The Air Force generally tests four Minuteman III rockets a year, planned out months and sometimes years in advance. Canceling or postponing a test because of concerns a launch could be provocative is very rare."

What I'm concerned is the US government's putting too much money into climate change instead of into force readiness and this will result in drastic climate change due to our enemies knowing we are weak at the top and weak at the front line because our equipment's being mothballed because it's too old to keep in service, they can't get enough for a cruise and they teach critical race theory making those Military members feel guilty about themselves.
