They already are taking military measure.  This is nothing new and pretty much par for the course.  Are you saying that any president should not be willing to use our military if someone attacks us no matter how the attack is done.  There are many institutions that can fall prey to cyberattacks that directly effect and cripple the US.  Just because someone behind a computer did the act instead of shooting a gun does not mean the act doesn't have the same reach and ramifications.

Saying we will respond to attacks with everything the US has including military is pretty much par.  If another nation hacked us that caused loss of life or damange to our infrastructure then what do you think any president would do.  You are isolating one word but not looking at the whole picture which is that the statement mentioned multiple measures we would take.

No, I'm telling, again, that she is specifically talking about DNC hacking and about Russia. That is cyber espionnage, that is not State classified information, this is not an "attack", that is not proven it comes from Russia, the USA are doing the same thing, so she should not talk about military actions regarding that. If someone hacks and destroy a nuke plant, that is attack, and that will be dealt with military response, and there are thin chances Russia want to start a war with the USA, and thin chances they are stupid enough to not understand the signifiance of a cyber attack to the USA. If she want to talk about that anyway, then she should talk about that, not about the DNC leak. But you perfectly know she is exactly talking about DNC, and implying she would use USA might against anyone that want to show her messy business.
