Personally, I think the whole threat level etc is nothing but politics.

I've been watching pretty close and I haven't seen them raise defcons for the military when they do the raising the alert level thing. Military just stays at whatever level they were at.

However, about a month and a half ago, the entire Pacific fleet was in a much higher ready state, leaves canceled, things like that. Sailors were told to be ready to go at any moment BUT they didn't raise any of the threat levels or let any of us know it was happening.
