In WW-II, marines were assured that after massive air and naval barrages against tiny atols, they would go in unopposed.

Totally different weapon. They had to have practically a direct hit on a bunker, this weapon doesn't.

What they found in WW-II was that a significant difference existed between measured surface test blast radius published in manuals versus actual combat effective radius. Same thing happened in Serbia and Gulf War-II where "near" misses by 2,000 lb bunker busters had little to no effect on tunnels and bunkers.
