More From Over the Hedge
Actually…DefCon (Defense Condition)12 would be beyond even RJ’s level of slack.
The lower the number, the greater the threat.
DefCon 5 is Lowest state of readiness
4 = Increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measure
3 = Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness
2 = Next step to nuclear war (only reached once, applied to SAC during the Cuban Missile Crisis)
1 = Nuclear war is imminent
So DefCon 12 would be somewhere around the level of a decades long coma.
