No.
From my (admittedly limited) understanding of OPLAN 8010, there's still a two-man rule (although, technically, it looks like the POTUS can still fire the SOD if they do not verify the president's order -- which I thought they were doing away with? Maybe I'm missing something through). On top of that, there would still be time limitations involved with the carrier, biscuit verification, and then re-verification of order authenticity by each military entity that was notified of the order by the NMCC.
One thing I noticed while on my autodidact spelunking mission is that there doesn't appear to be any safeguards in place as far as the "why" behind the order. There's layer upon layer of identity conformation, and verification of order authenticity; however, there is woefully little as far as making sure there is justification for the order. If the POTUS and SOD went on a drunken bender, there doesn't appear to be anything within the current guidelines that require any type of
compos mentis for the order to be followed.
It was a simple yes or no question. None of what you wrote would have anything to do with the correct answer
It's funny when someone says you are mistaken when they have zero percent knowledge of what they are lecturing.
Don't worry. No one can do anything by themselves. NO ONE.
Everything is tight. Everyone knows what to do. There is ZERO ambiguity.
I cannot explain the facts. Everything you wrote is for public consumption. The final commitment checklists are a VERY small part of the puzzle. These procedures are TS-SIOP-ESI classification.
The above is uninteresting because it is based on a platform of zero knowledge. This is good however, because nobody, except those with the need to know, should know. Most classified is based on weapon system limitations and ballistic properties.
Back to topic. I am not mistaken, I know this stuff better that anyone, even most people who were in the business. Hillary should have known better. You NEVER discuss actual timing or current readiness status, never.
She is both incompetent and criminal.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
