[QUOTE=TheTalon;26242512]There's no way the US would be at Defcon 1... I think we're sitting pretty at Defcon 3, still...

During the Cuban Missile Crisis on October 22, 1962, the U.S. armed forces were ordered to DEFCON 3. On October 23, Strategic Air Command (SAC) was ordered to DEFCON 2, while the rest of the U.S. armed forces remained at DEFCON 3. SAC remained at DEFCON 2 until November 15. ~ Wikipedia

Damn this thread goes fast. Anyway this hopefully won't end up in anything major.

[QUOTE=Identity;26242559]South Korea does.[/QUOTE] I'd bet you guys are minutes away from Defcon 2 then, That's an order that has to be given by the leader of the country I believe, and since he's just now meeting with this Defense Minister, it's likely... Not to worry though, DEFCON is just a country's state of Readiness for war, any type, not JUST Nukes
