Yes and no.
As much as I hate to bring up this part, but I do think that using nukes to save a few airmen cannot be all that great when one does realize that nukes don't just affect those that get fried, but those who have nothing to do with it many miles away.
Personally I think its a foolish endeavor on the one hand. On the other, being a military nut, its intriguing.
But i think the money would be better spent elsewhere at this point, and lots of this talk is ending up in the "bluffing" section.
[edit] Oh and I'd also like to see how they're going to be getting the bunkers really - the deeper penetration is defenitely needed to take out many bunkers. A nuke isn't all that great of a solution against most bunkers anyways. Nukes weren't exactly designed for that in mind in the first place - and you're not really going to be finding many ways of altering the blast honestly.
