They don't maintain themselves. That takes a long line of grunts putting in the never ending duty 'day'.

My late husband, retired munition maint tech, told me that in Nam he put in fourteen hours, a day in the long line just prepping and getting the gobangs out to the flight line. Then another bunch of grunts had to load and arm them ... very, very carefully. That was in his spare time; otherwise he spent quality time making sure those bad boys were safely asleep until they didn't have to be.
