Unchanged.

The job required to fire a missile is somewhat prestigious but relatively simple - the command comes in, execute a pre-planned sequence of events that have been drilled into you by that point.

At that point it's no different from following the assembly steps for a hamburger at a fast food restaurant.. though with much greater consequences than a stomachache afterwards :)

If they don't have the morals not to cheat in the MILITARY, what makes you think they are trustworthy to consider the consequences of pushing the button on a nuclear missile?

Or are they just going to belittle the "enemy" in their minds like they are taught and then an hour later twice the number of nuclear warheads come crashing down on us from overseas in return.

Not their problem because they were "just obeying orders" and they are under a hardened site.

Kind of like how armed drone operators don't think about what they are are doing until months later when they get PTSD when they find out they killed innocent people

The problem is that none of those people in the silos expect they'll ever be called upon to actually launch those missiles. Ever since the Soviet Union collapsed, they've been a weapon without a plausible mission.

This has two pernicious effects. First, it leads the people in the silos to think to themselves: if none of this really matters, why not cheat? It's all theater anyway, right? Why put your career prospects at risk over something that's pure theater?

And second, it means that the best and the brightest Air Force servicemembers, the ones who want to wear stars on their shoulders someday, don't want to serve in the silos to begin with. Promotions in the military flow from service in real wars, not imaginary ones. So the people who end up in the silos are the ones who can't get stationed somewhere (anywhere!) else -- and that's exactly the type of person who's going to be tempted to cheat to get ahead in the first place.

The military is not interested in your morals, they are interested in your following the orders that you are given. Teamwork breaks down when people question orders, and timing matters during operations.

Yes, there are a small handful of cases throughout history where a lone solider disobeyed / questioned orders and came out ahead. I can't know for certain, but I'm willing to bet that many, many more soldiers who've done this either got their squadmates killed, lost their ass afterwards, or both.
