Questions

Question: In the first scene of NORAD where the technicians first notice the incoming missiles, some of the people start saying sentences with the word "confidence" in it. What does "confidence" mean (in relataion to the military)? Does it mean like how sure they are of something?

Answer: That's exactly what it means. When they say "confidence is high", it means that they have a high degree of certainty that the events are happening as they appear.
