Former U.S. President Bill Clinton lost the card bearing the codes needed to launch a nuclear attack while in office, according to a former top military officer.
Gen. Hugh Shelton, who served under Clinton as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the “biscuit” — as it is known — was missing for months, ABC News reported.
Shelton tells the story in his memoir, “Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior,” although Ret. Air Force Lt. Col Robert Patterson previously told a similar story in his book
“He thought he just placed them upstairs,” Patterson wrote. “We called upstairs, we started a search around the White House for the codes, and he finally confessed that he in fact misplaced them. He couldn’t recall when he had last seen them.”
And to think some of you guys almost made his wife, who is much more forgetful, president.
