Why worry about defense readiness condition level 1(DEFCON 1) when you most likely will never have to use it? I understand it's purpose, but wouldn't you be dead before you could raise the DEFCON? After all, level 1 means "Nuclear war is imminent."

| Because it is alot easier to plan ahead. DEFCON 1 is not just fire the nukes eff everything, its an order to lockdown all bases, alert every single soldier and man every available vehicle and launch all the jets and shoot first ask questions later. |

I know it's purpose. But if nuclear war is imminent, wouldn't that mean you would be, well, warring and... stuff?

Yes, "guiding." That thing you try to do while they run around in screaming panic.

US are completly paranoid, before the president arrives to ANY place, the Secret Service have to think up of a thousand scenarios threatening the president's life.
