Jack has done many things over the years to keep our country safe. In the first 6 1/2 seasons Jack has stopped 3 attempts to end a president's life, 3 nuclear threats, 3 attempts on the lives of Jack Bauer's family, 5 members of his own team that have turned on him. As Denzel Washington would say in American Gangster "My man."
The way Jack has stopped all of these attacks is by employing the Jack Bauer Security Advisory System.
Here is the detailed descritiption of each of the threat levels thanks to John Kubicek of BuddyTV.com:
Low (Green) = damnit
The word "damnit" is in all lowercase letters to tell you that the situation is, at best, a minor inconvenience. Perhaps Jack stubbed in toe on a container of Sarin gas or maybe he bruised his knuckles while punching out a terrorist. It's really no big deal, and you should just go about business as usual.
Guarded (Blue) = Damnit
The capitalized "D" means things are a little bit more difficult, but still easily within Jack Bauer's control. Maybe he found some blueprints for a bomb inside the United Nations, or maybe there's intel on a damaged memory card with some random coordinates on it. There's definitely something suspicious going on, but Jack Bauer is on the case, so there's still very little to worry about because he'll probably stop the terrorists.
Elevated (Yellow) = Damnit!
The exclamation point means things are getting tense. It means Jack Bauer has credible information that a terrorist attack is going to happen within the hour (there's always something happening within the hour on 24). It hasn't happened, and there are still 58 minutes left to stop it, but you're in for a very heightened sense of danger.
High (Orange) = DAMNIT
This is probably the most common of Jack Bauer's "damnit"s, indicating frustration over something pretty bad that's happened. Maybe a co-worker died when terrorists leaked gas into CTU, or perhaps Jack himself was forced to shoot a colleague who was standing between him and the terrorist. Something seriously awful had to happen to reach this level, and it's going to take all of the items in Jack Bauer's man bag to stop it.
Severe (Red) = DAMNIT!!!
All caps and three exclamation points can only mean one thing: a major terrorist attack has occurred. Maybe a nuclear bomb was detonated on U.S. soil or Air Force One was shot down by a missile or maybe the terrorists have broken into the White House and are holding the president hostage. Either way, if you hear a very loud "DAMNIT!!!" coming from Jack Bauer, you know it's time to head to the panic room.
But even Denzel's "my man" nor any award can really tell you how much Jack Bauer has done for this great country we call home. So in order to pay true tribute to the man I'm going to give you guys a video that honors all of his kills.
