TrentonMakes Posted July 11, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 11, 2016 Sort of like the "could/couldn't care less" thing - I hear people referencing "Defcon 5" when they mean to say "1". I will post this handy chart for their benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 11, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2016 when I say Nateland went to "DEFCON 5" I know exactly what I mean at DEFCON 5 you unload your weapons, crack open some beers, call in the look outs, and get down like a rodeo clown its our lowest state of readiness. We even let the greased weasels out of their otterbox so they can run around for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
