breitbart.com ^ | Oct 20, 2016

Posted on 10/20/2016 9:44:35 PM PDT by Helicondelta

She further stated, “the bottom line is, the US military, not especially thrilled to be discussing in precise detail what it takes to launch nuclear weapons.”

Highly classified, not that Hillary cares.

It is shocking that Barbara Starr is making this statement on Cnn no less.

Whatever the actual time may be, it’s not public information, and doesn’t need to be revealed in a public forum...

I think that’s the point of this posting.

and...Hillary’s “team” is sparing no effort to obscure that simple fact—because it exposes her as a public menace.

The end-of-the-cold-war 1990 film, “Dawn’s Early Light” has clear references for the four minutes to launch a nuclear attack response, as well as many other “secrets” that used to be considered highly classified.

Its a good film -

RE: No it isn’t classified. As usual, CNN gets it wrong.

I picked up on that immediately. I turned to my wife and said that was info our enemies didn’t need to hear. I’d call that info highly classified.

By the same token, doling out bits and pieces of information that deals with secret areas can lead to someone putting together a classified construct. She talks of how dangerous Trump would be with our nukes, she’s the one offering info on capabilities/procedures - always a bad idea if one deals in the security arena ... enough sensitive data can be compiled into confidential data ... can be compiled into secret data ... can be compiled into top secret data.

The alleged 4 minute window between the command and response to nuke is general knowledge? Doubtful.

It is now.

This will be very helpful to US Enemies,
but is it more so then the arms they
get from Clintons and the Pentagon,
or from Lerner and Obama???

Yes.
This will enable destruction of all US cities
on a first hit.
