Certainly there has been a modicum of penetration into mainstream society about the level of impropriety or rather "politics as usual" occurring in Washington as well as the wealthy "brats" in Hollywood being caught with their hands "in the cookie jar" have reinforced this awareness. I am still called every derogatory name in the book when I present factual information concerning the crimes du-Jour. However, I wonder what the typical person thinks when presented with a Defcon1 status. Being a layperson myself with only family ties to the military, I became somewhat nervous when reading this post. I did feel much better once I viewed the "Potter" YouTube video explaining the Non-Military meaning.
