From the article, one of the "harvesters" "was formerly in charge of US nuclear weapons."

Excerpt: "Additionally, in an ongoing investigation, ex-StratCom Deputy Commander Tim Giardina is in hot water with Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Iowa after reportedly introducing fake $500 chips at a cash game table, which he claimed he bought in a casino bathroom. He was relieved of his StartCom duties; Giardina was formerly in charge of US nuclear weapons."
