What is the concern of our NOW PC deterrent Obama commanded ICBM base force ? Weed
No not THAT kind.
F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, the home of the Air Force's 90th Missile Wing, has a problem. No, it's not missile alert crews caught napping or mishandling of nuclear warheads. It's something more insidious: Silent killers that are infiltrating the base.

The weed-control scheme is supposed to help prevent the Colorado Butterfly Plant from being choked off by Canada thistle, leafy spurge, Dalmatian toadflax, hound's tongue and hoary cress. According to the solicitation, "this situation presents an opportunity to test potential methods for weed control in threatened species habitat for effectiveness, likelihood of adverse impact to sensitive species, and manageability."
