The problem is that when you use the nukes as a weapon of last resort, you're doing it wrong. Because once other methods to kill the BETA have failed, you've already suffered some losses, and the idea is to use the nukes so as to keep your conventional forces as intact as possible.
Whatever some people might like to say about the western doctrine of keeping pilots as safe as reasonably attainable, preservation of forces really is essential to a dominant stragety.
