There's plenty of checks and other such things in place, including safety measures. But if someone wanted to, they absolutely could bypass them, so long as they knew how and were trusted enough to operate those systems.
And we had to know what our system did. We were actually really some of the worst order followers in the military because a major part of our job involved questioning orders we were given that seem wrong. If an order we are given was wrong and we followed it anyway knowing it was wrong, we could seriously screw up the reactor, cause a major nuclear incident.

I don't get from you that there is no one "over" 21 not overseeing the chain of order to allow someone under 21 to be an unchecked link in the chain to "the button". If that person under 21 was to do anything other than was ordered, it would be checked. No doubt about it. The military knows, to a dot of the i and the cross of the t that the human mind, regardless of evaluation of an individual's development, has not developed to the degree necessary to trust so young a person's involvement in such a national security critical process.
