After all of the ICBM Nuke security concerns in the last 5-10 years, this is not very comforting to read. Looks like the DoD is in need of some serious data storage upgrades.

I though this spoof of the King Jong Un Cola Nutcase was funny; but this is really funnier and also alarming. Do they still use IBM 360s to upload it to our ICBMs? Is this Apollo Space Program era technology?

SGT Robert George - now it will all fit in a small laptop or tablet with an 64 GB SD Card. The air force wants money ($160 billion in cost overruns) for an F-35 but they don't have a few million dollars to upgrade the computers.
