So is there anything past DefCon 1? Is that war? Because if it is, I'm fully ready to declare war on Winter.




Its over! End your occupation! Go!




Bah.

wiki says Defcon 1 is maximum readiness, so I'm thinking no.

I'm with you on winter, though. Enough is enough!

Dude, I hit DefCon 1 a week ago. I'm about to go through the ceiling.

Oh, good, I'm not the only one to have wikisearched it.

I'm thinking of all the invasions that the U.S. has instigated, all without having to go beyond DefCon 3. I don't think you'd need to change defcon status to try to kick winter's ass, you just need to declare emergency powers and get funding from congress without having to do the paperwork of declaring war.

Anyway, it seems clear from the context, that DefCon 1 is really code for "continuing military operations during and after a nuclear holocaust with Soviet Russia". I think the whole protocol is due for a remodel, but not until some kind of legitimate change has occured in "The War on with Terror".

I might need to side with the conspiracy theorists on this one: Global Warming could be seen as a long-term campaign against Winter, that has bypassed all the usual channels for such large projects. It's a vast experiment that's been marketed as"Business as Usual".
