"Button was a Air Force pilot for five years, four as a T-37 first assignment instructor pilot teaching novices to fly and then one year as an A-10 pilot at the 355th Fighter Wing."

I find this to be unbelievable. Captain Craig Button, Captain for one year and then assigned to a pilot school is the correct order of things. Firstly, you are assigned to a pilot school as an instructor at the culmination of your career, or the back end of things, not in the order presented where it is stated his first assignment was four years as an instructor pilot. Where did he learn to fly? Secondly, if the correct order of things as presented, is one year as an A-10 pilot than how did he obtain the rank of captain in so little time?

Finally, "would have been the first time Captain Button dropped live ordnance", also seems to be in error. As an instructor, I highly doubt the USAF would be using any live ordnance at a training school, only if to use such live ordnance in a live fire demonstration and in a live theater of operations (landscape). You have to realize an A-10 aircraft is a tank hunting aircraft and there would be little or no time in a theater of operations training for tank drivers and crew to escape. It is simply implausible to use live ordnance in any training scenario. So it stands to reason he could've used live ordnance while assigned to his specific unit, however, these two particular M-30 (or M-35) bombs that went missing had nuclear warhead capabilities as previously reported. Where did he obtain and get approval for that type of ordnance in his past duty? And, as you state one year on the job doesn't seem to fit with your initial statement.

The sources of the articles from repudiated publishers appears to be in error from the moment the aircraft went missing.
