Thanks to interlibrary loan and a memorial donation made to honor Dr. Forrest Foreman I was able to read the latest book in the Old Man's War series. There was a waitlist.

@scalzi.com deserves thanks for the writing. It was worth the wait.

Library copy of The Shattering Peace by John Scalzi with labels of "NEW" and "Science Fiction." Cover art by John Harris shows a planet in the background of blue, orange, and red. A large gray spaceship is above what looks to be wreckage on a grayish moon or asteroid.

You are correct that nobody should let up at all about the horrifying lack of operational security and apparent ignorance or defiance from those in charge of national security and intelligence.

Yet DEFCON 5 is the lowest threat level, normal. This is not normal.
Chart of DEFCON levels ranging from 1 through 5 where 1 is Maximum Readiness, Nuclear War Imminent and 5 is Normal, Lowest State.

Image at top shows President Zelenskyy of Ukraine sitting in the Oval office with his arms crossed, next Donald Trump and JD Vance holding up their right hands in a stop gesture. Image at lower right is of Lt Col Alexander Vindman in his military dress uniform. Text reads "Today's press conference between Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy was a horror show. Trump and Vance looked like children talking about appeasing Russia, which will only embolden Putin, while Zelenskyy defended his nation and the free world. Ukraine will NOT have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step up and this war will continue... but Trump blew this bigger than any foreign policy disaster in recent history!" - Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman

For some reason this image comes to mind:
Image of Lex Luther in a pink and green outfit running and pulling a 4 tiered cart of cakes, one of which is falling off the back. Text reads "When no one was looking, Lex Luther took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible."
