Thacker) Organization: The Mitre Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 11 Approved: military@att.att.com Full-Name: Usenet News From: emery@linus.mitre.org (David Emery) Has anyone heard what our current DEFCON is? It's interesting, in that we're closer to a full mobilization than any time in my adult lifetime, but not with the Russians. I doubt we'll launch ICBM's at Saddam, so it's not clear to me at all if DEFCON's have meaning in the current situation... dave emery
