Can I hook the oxygen hose up to something besides oxygen? Asking for a friend.

The white piece is not part of the helmet. It is an accessory called the Lead Zirconate Titonate (PLZT) goggles that attach to the normal helmet. The PLZT goggles are able to detect a nuclear flash faster than the eye and shut down in time to block the blinding light of that nuclear flash, thus saving the eyesight of the pilots.
A new version, that will essentially be just a normal visor on the helmet instead of this Darth Vader looking contraption, is under development right now.
Yeah, but what do you know?

I'm talking about Aug 2016 to July 2017.

Can you imagine jumping into that seat knowing that your family (you're leaving behind) is going to die.
Horrifying.

I'm referring that when called out to drop nukes on a foreign country, mostly likely nukes would be hitting the U.S. as well thus killing your family. You leave them behind to participate in the erasure of most life on the earth.
