Feels weird to talk about the "can neither confirm nor deny" stuff when the website for the Warren AFB and 90th Wing so plainly say that they have and operate ICBMs.<p><a href="https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/" rel="nofollow">https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/</a><p><a href="https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/331275/90th-missile-wing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Artic...</a>

  Maybe it's something like some of the missiles have no warhead on them, and you don't know which ones.

    That, plus young security forces airmen and missile officers that just don’t want to accidentally say something they’re not supposed to. CYA is the most common source of over classification.

They drive significantly under the speed limit; of course everyone passes them.

  Yeah, you definitely shouldn't follow behind them for a long distances.

  Strangely in the UK, the vehicles carrying nuclear weapons are escorted by the nuclear police and they absolutely 'bomb' it past everyone.

If you follow too closely, you can rear-end one.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/6macxc/casually_rearending_a_nuclear_missile/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/6macxc/casually_reare...</a>

They could sell bumper stickers. "This car passed a Nuklear ICBM"
