I’m guessing that this little tidbit of information was classified Top-Secret.

Whatever the classification is, her disclosure doesn't change it. It does make her blatantly in violation of her lifetime NDA.

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!

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.
