Don't think the US military have been overrun in the UK, so no broken arrow, although was Elvis ever here when he was in the army, or was he just in Germany?
The broken arrow sequence in "we were soldiers" has to be one of the most harrowing film sequences I've seen.

I meant 'we've lost a missile', not to mention the shape it's now in

Brokern arrow is 'post has been overrun, all available airpower to our position (made famous by the book "we were soldiers once... and young' made into the very moving film, 'we were soldiers,' starring Mel Gibson, which was the story of the Ia Dang Valley incident in Vietnam). It is also used to denote an accident with a nuclear bomb, which will not lead to an explosion (called 2 times AFAIK, once in 1956 in England and 1966 in Spain). We've lost a nuclear missile is called 'Empty Quiver.'

However, that's patently the end of an anchor, surely?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I have no clue who either of those people are. That kind of means the joke fails on my part.
