:12:18
Goddammit
:12:20
How the goddamn hell
could this happen?
:12:21
I will have Power's head on a platter
:12:23
Next to LeMay's
:12:26
Kenny, you hear me
give the order to got o DEFCON 2?
:12:29
'Cause I remember
giving the order to go to DEFCON 3
:12:32
but I must be suffering from amnesia
:12:34
I've just been informed
our nuclear forces are at DEFCON 2
:12:38
Mr. President
:12:39
the orders were limited...
:12:40
to our strategic forces
in the continental United States
:12:44
General LeMay is correct
:12:46
Technically
SAC has the statutory authority...
:12:48
I have the authority!
:12:51
I am the commander-in-chief
of the United States
:12:53
and I say when we go to war
:12:57
We're not at war, sir
Not until DEFCON 1
:13:05
General
:13:07
the Joint Chiefs have just signaled
our intent to escalate to the Soviets
:13:11
You've signaled an escalation
:13:12
which I had no wish to signal
and which I did not approve
:13:18
Get out of here, Max
:13:19
Yes, sir
:13:29
Rescind the order. Can all the Chiefs
:13:31
Put Nitze, Gilpatric
and the Undersecretaries in charge
:13:33
Yes, we can
:13:34
We can't fire the Chiefs, Bobby
:13:37
Our invasion talk
would look like a bluff
:13:40
Or even worse
if there's been an attempted coup
:13:46
Jesus
:13:55
Kenny
:13:57
give me a couple minutes
alone with Bobby
