Those 'bunker buster' nukes have been proposed for destroying and
sterilising buried stocks of germ warfare material.
For THAT purpose, their use is eminently sensible and logically
defensible.

The alternatives - allowing an enemy to deploy such weapons, or
acccidentally dispersing them with a conventional attack - are NOT
attractive.


Not to mention the fact that it would very conveniently free the US of
the burden of proving that such weapons existed in the first place.
Instead of merely claiming the weapons are there, but kind of hard to
find, it could now claim huge stockpiles existed, and were wiped out
with 100% success by the nukes. Very neat.
