But heres the deal. The bottom line on nuclear weapons is that when the president gives the order, it must be followed. Theres about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so. Hillary Clinton If this statement along does not sink this boob then nothing will...

Thought from Hillary in a desperate moment...”Damn, I know those codes are around here somewhere!”
To: SaxxonWoods
Those are media reports and are speculation.
Hillary was revealing inside information as an argument as to how knowledgeable she was.

The specific command and control systems for the "go code" are totally dependent on people to initiate them (imagine odumbo looking for his aide with the "football" or more like the aide looking for him on the golf course). Therefore the response time is totally dependent on the command authority's decision time.
After receipt and processing of the code, individual weapons systems process the signal uniquely and that time is certainly classified.
I'm guessing by your moniker, that receiving a valid command via ELF would take much longer than landline or MF/VHF/UHF. BUFFs would be in the air before a boomer would even have the complete EWO.
And that's what she was talking about. Here is exactly what she said -
"There's about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so."
She IS talking response time, and that is a measurement of capability, and highly classified.
Sure, people can guess the response time, and China, and Russia, probably have very good estimates, but there is a difference when a former SOS spouts it out.
My biggest issue with the whole thing is the EXTREME level of incompetence it implies. She made this comment to seem Presidential! How stupid/incompetent is that!

I wish Trump has called out
"Beadwindow two three" on her butt last night. Only the military people would get it and it would have stumped Wallace and She Who Must Be Obeyed cold. It would have been hilary-ous. Calling beadwindow on someone is humiliating. A big STHU you're giving away opsec info.

If you have never seen this, it is my pleasure to invite you to watch one of the finest films I have ever seen.
They don’t make movies like this anymore.
Enjoy!

We freaked out when she said that last night. Trump should have turned to Hillary and said “you should be in jail for that too”.

Nothing, absolutely nothing will deter those who want to see Hillary in the White House, those who benefit from the swamp that is Washington, DC, and those who benefit of its pay to play games. Not a thing on earth.
Our only hope is that those who truly love this country, want it safe and protected, and to have a country worth passing on to our children and grandchildren will get out and vote on November 8. NO excuses about Trump isn’t conservative enough, he’s not this that or the other.
It’s him or Hillary. Period.

Just the thought of finally having that much power is making her more and more reckless.
I keep thinking of the word “avaricious” every time I see her or hear her.
Mr. Trump was right.
She really is a nasty woman.

Because if you had a [scintilla] of knowledge of what has happened here you would understand why. That's a rather flippant response to a sincere question.
Were you being sarcastic when you said "her ass is grass"?
If not, then I was just wondering why you thought that this particular item will be Hillary's undoing...

Releasing top secret defense info on TV is highly illegal. OK, so her ass should be grass. And I agree that it should be treated seriously.
It's another sterling example of a breathtaking double standard.
Can you imagine if Trump had done this? They's be calling for him to step down, for God's sake! It would be the only thing the Media would be talking about.
Rank hypocrisy.
I've heard that there was a passing reference made to the incident on "Fox & Friends", and that's it.
Donald Trump (or his surrogates) should be forcing the Media to address this serious breach of national security.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump!

Back in the early 90’s she toured a submarine and then told the press that it can dive down 800 feet.
That was classified until she opened her fat mouth.
