1. I always thought it was the MOAB they used against tunnels

They weigh over ten tons typically delivered by a C-130. Can't imagine an F-35 carrying one.

2. Now these here is tactics

Take your most expensive highest stealth fighter and use it as a bunker buster! Raw Genius!!! Now the F 35 does have 4 internal weapons pods that retain the fighters stealth ability. Of those 4 bays 2 are used to carry Air to Air which leaves room enough for???? yep-2 1 ton bombs. Do you get the picture here, cupcake? They are sending a $100,000,000+ plane to deliver the exact same shock and awe our enemies can deliver with a 20 year old Toyota pick up! F'in BRILLIANT!!!
