The strike lists in Howling Wilderness and other modules and sourcebooks don't tell the whole nuke target story, as they only list strikes of 1mt and over. That leaves GMs with heaps of room to move in terms of targets they deem to have been worthy of nuking (by ruling that they were hit with nukes smaller than 1mt) without departing radically from canon.
I do agree that MilGov would've tried to hold onto more personnel back in the States post-Omega. In my last campaign they did just that, but in the following year lost a lot of personnel to desertions and defections to MilGov and New America. Even then, it would still leave MilGov with a huge injection of personnel within the CONUS.
