The missile silos and control facilities are connected in a sort of semi-mesh topology, so any one cable break is unlikely to cause a communications failure. There are backup launch control interfaces available via airborne platforms (specifically the E-6 today) as well.
Digging into one of the cables is going to get you a prompt and unpleasant visit from base security.
