With version 1.0 character generation you need to also look at the time in combat numbers for the PCs. The last time I ran a campaign, the PCs included one guy whose numbers matched up with being being in the European war from about day one, and another guy who got really lucky on his attribute rolls whose time in combat lined up with not having made it into uniform and combat until after the TDM.

They would know about nukes on US soil IF the unit had replacement soldiers that had been shipped to Europe after TDM.

As a unit slated for participation in the summer offensive, I'm inclined to think 5th ID would have had priority for replacement personnel coming in from CONUS, so in that sense 5th ID as a group probably had a better big picture than most US units. Given how soldiers talk, and how important eye-witness accounts would be in an era when radio, other media, and mail is spotty to non-existent, I'd expect pretty much everyone in the division to have a decent sort of overview of conditions in CONUS. (With some disinformation thrown in as well if the details ever became important.)
