But yes, her failure to understand or care about what is ‘Classified’ and what isn’t hits us between the eyes again. It was more important to try to attack Trump to her, than care about operational security, just as it was more important for her personal security from FOIA to have a private server, no matter what security that may have endangered.

CNN’s Barbara Starr reported Thursday that the U.S. military is unhappy with Hillary Clinton discussing nuclear weapon launch times during Wednesday night’s presidential debate, calling such information “extremely classified.”
Clinton said during the debate there is a period of approximately four minutes from a presidential order to launch nuclear weapons to when the launch occurs. Her campaign also tweeted her comment.
Starr reported that the Pentagon would not officially comment on Clinton’s remarks since they occurred during a political campaign. However, many officials who spoke to Starr off-camera said they were not happy with Clinton’s comments due to the secure nature of what she was discussing.
“We went to the military this morning and asked them. A military spokesman told us that they do not discuss operational timelines for launching nuclear weapons,” Starr said. “This is some of the most classified information. I asked Defense Secretary Ash Carter at a press conference earlier today. He declined to answer the question because it involved politics.”
