President Kennedy:
Goddamn it! How the goddamn hell could this happen? I'm gonna have Powell's head on a platter - next to LeMay's. Kenny, you hear me give the order to go to DEFCON 2? 'Cause I remember giving the order to go to DEFCON 3 but, y'know I must be suffering from amnesia! I've just been informed our nuclear forces are at DEFCON 2.
Gen. Max Taylor:
They were limited, Mr. President. The orders were limited to our strategic forces...
President Kennedy:
Max!
Gen. Max Taylor:
...in the continental United States. General LeMay is correct. Technically, SAC has the statutory authority...
President Kennedy:
[slams fist]
*I* have the authority! I am the commander in chief of the United States, and I say when we go to war!
