This isn't true. I work in logistics for one of the biggest manufacturers of power generation equipment, including nuclear power. We ship enriched uranium and other nuclear material frequently. It isn't carried by the military. It is transported by private carriers. They do have to have specialized training and certification in order to do it, but it's not nearly as covert and hardcore as people think.
I was trying to be facetious.

so... will you be voting obama next time then? :lol:
IF this comes to pass, it can't hurt him. Now that he is starting to make an honest job of the presidency (maybe) of course I will consider it. Believe it or not I am extremely objective. I often tend to concede points and even forced to admit I was wrong in real life conversations. I have no problem doing this. however this forum seems to be severely less educated, which is why I come off as so pompous. I have been able to change my mind, and I will if I think it makes more sense or presents flaws in my opinions. I honestly believe he is in the position to be a great president, but he has to follow through. we'll see.
