Sounds like a real good decision...
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has over the past two years dismissed 20 soldiers with access to nuclear weapons because of psychological problems, Interfax news agency reported.

It quoted military prosecutors as saying the 20 servicemen where dismissed from just one unit of the strategic missile forces in 1997-98 for problems such as psychopathy, schizophrenia and psychological instability as well as epilepsy.

The information was revealed at a conference of military prosecutors, who said servicemen in need of psychological attention often do not get the help they need.

As Russia's economic situation continues to weaken, some foreign observers have expressed concern about the safety of the country's nuclear facilities. But the military says its vast arsenal remains safe despite the country's problems.
