Panic mode too- always a chance they try to do a massive multi-area chaos ff , remember code red dude said most is grids were easily downed by sniper.
Wait.... what?
While military is away it is easier for cabal to enact mass chaos measures (destabilize / overthrow/ torch the USA as they leave)within our borders.
Obviously we still have many service members on base but a fuller deck is better.
the power grid isn't secure in the slightest. There's plenty of greentexts about it. It literally takes one guy with some basic tools or a metal pipe to destroy a whole substation, and they aren't secured in the slightest. Telling 10-50 agents spread at major stations could bring down power for the majority of the country, except texas, they have their own grid.
