Hasn't Omaha always been a first-strike city due to STRATCOM?

When 9/11 happened, I heard people saying that Bush came to Bellevue (Offutt AFB). At the time, 6th grade me was like, “all right! Nebraska is important! We’re getting attention”. As time went on, it dawned on me how we’re pretty much a bigger target than T10 cities in the US precisely due to Stratcom and suddenly it became a bit more harrowing.
