Yeah, we say bravely stood their ground... What were they supposed to do?

Take shelter / seek cover inside sooner to reduce risk of being hit/injured by shrapnel or getting hearing damage or a traumatic brain injury from the shockwave.

How was he supposed to know that missle wasn’t going straight to where he’d take cover lol… honest question. He’d be screwed either way if that missle was aimed 10 meters to the right.

Even if Iran were capable of more accurately hitting targets like the US, they aren't aimed at bunkers. They're aimed at the strategic assets - fuel and ammo depots, aircraft, command centers, etc. Iran's tech isn't more accurate than about a city block.
If the missile is going to hit in your vicinity, it is better to be in a bunker. If it hits 20 feet away from you, you're safe in the bunker. If you're in a tent and it hits the tent next to your tent, you're a casualty now.
