Underground Nuclear Missiles in Rural Farm States

The more you know

In Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri there are active nuclear missiles under the ground that have been there since the Cold War. We have 150 missile silos in Montana, 100 of which are active. I searched high and low for something to tell me that the nuclear missiles were either not there anymore or that they had been dismantled and could no longer deploy. Turns out, that information doesn’t exist.
