One of the best commentaries is from a former AF Spook and available here:
In from the Cold

Here's my personal feelings/take on the situation: Door, Airman. Airman, Door. Now that the two of you are acquainted don't let Door hit you on the way out! And by Airman I mean both officers and enlisted! I wouldn't go so far as a dishonorable or big chicken dinner (bad conduct discharge), an administrative discharge and/or forced retirement should be good enough with court marshals all around for any one who decides not to take the hint.

This may sound harsh but these weren't your average run of the mill missiles, they were nuclear armed munitions. NUKES for those in the cheap seat. You know two person controlled, mandatory multiple sets of eyes on them at all times, "Danger Will Robinson!", duck and cover, kiss your butt good bye, nukes! Also according to the official accounting of what happened, there were multiple times when these special munitions should have been discovered earlier to include right before take off by the aircraft flight crew, if the Airmen had paid attention to detail, done their job correctly, and by the numbers.

However, on the flip side, the munitions Airman at Barksdale A.F.B. who discovered the munitions and every one in the chain from that point on who diligently followed procedure, and declared the "Bent Spear", deserve a nice cold one, if not a day off, and possibly a medal.

So to the guys that screwed up, thanks for serving our country but it's time for you to go. To the ones who did right and didn't try to cover it up, good on ya, atta boy!
