That assumes the targeteers let you go after "non-military" targets in what would almost certainly be an RoE constrained environment.
Back in 82 there was also a lot less freely available int on capabilities - particularly wrt Vulcan / Victor numbers. More "unknown" to be afraid of.
There's also a difference between being scared sh1tless and identifying a military threat and moving your forces to counter it.
TLAM is a very good weapon, but only game changing when employed in sufficient numbers to cause permanent loss of capabilities. We can do that when Uncle Sam and his skimmers crammed with TLAM are with us. Different story if we're on our tod.
