Let’s see if we hear directly from the military.
The four minutes refers to the time between “order to launch” and the actual launch.
The four minutes does not include the much longer “time to target” period.
“There’s about four minutes between the order being given, ... and the current launch codes are ... “ HRC
“What she MEANT to say was ... “ Snopes
Bwahahaha ... have you noticed how L4B has ‘transformed’ the brass, especially at the Pakistahn, er, I mean Pentagon?
I’m wondering what happened to the policy to “neither confirm nor deny” when it comes to the nuclear program. If I’m not mistaken, the stock answer from 40+ years ago was “It is DOD policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard any specific ship.”

Here’s the entire sequence of events for nuclear war.
Time referred to here is “about 5 minutes” for ground-based and 15 minutes for submarines.
Doesn’t look very secret as it’s all there.
That’s 4 minutes after the President gives the launch code validation, right? Assuming he/she hasnt lost them?
Don’t be silly! Shed never GIVE them away. But for a $100 million donation to the foundation she’ll let you shoot one off.
Truly.
These are two of the best actors there ever were.
And the spectacle of Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington playing a game nuclear chess on a crippled nuclear submarine wherein the entire fate of the world hangs in the balance is absolutely mind blowing!
And so help me God, if they ever attempt to remake or reboot this movie, I will nuke Hollywood from my sub.
I’m guessing that this little tidbit of information was classified Top-Secret...
As soon as she said it...I went oh oh! The average man/woman on the street would question it I hope!
Trumpalanche ho
But “TRUMP REFUSAL”
TRUMP REFUSAL DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???
Not a big deal. This woman systematically sent classified material, including TS/SCI (particularly sensitive Top Secret), over her personal, unsecure email. The FBI Director announced on national television that this doesn’t count as a crime when Hillary does it.
If that didn’t matter, then leaking something that can be inferred from http://www.janes.com/ is not going to hurt Hillary. She can only be defeated at the polls, and only if we have a margin so big that it’s outside the margin of fraud that even democrats will engage in - a very high threshold!
They don’t want to be fumbling around with it all day either, though. The target list would tend to be rather static.
She is covered with that Orgreenic pan coating, maybe.
I doubt that.
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.
SIOP
Excellent movie!
