I wouldn't give a bucket of warm spit for a spot in any of those bunkers. Top Secret? Maybe the contents, but not the locations. The Russians have all of ours mapped. We have all of theirs mapped. It's a false sense of security. It's better protection than the rest of the population is afforded, but lots of sparsely populated areas will get by just fine. The stragglers will be mopped up by ground troops if the intention is total extermination.

Military installations will be on the first strike list. There will be precious few troops left to do anything but navel gaze. A sub launch nuke on DC and most of our .gov disappears in the flash. Very few will make it to any bunker. They think their bunker is blast proof. How many direct hits can it withstand before it all collapses in on them? 2? 10? 20? .gov survivor stories will be few and far between. A word of warning to any that might survive, resist the urge to claim that you are now in charge, another survivor might just shoot you in the face.

The tricky part is getting to the bunkers in time.

Most “leaders” would be dead in a nuclear attack long before they got there.
