6. Yes, and I think we've been using them since Desert Storm...
...we call them bunker-busters now, and they use depleted uranium nose-cones to pierce rock and concrete to greater depths. I believe that we are also using mini-nukes to provide the extreme explosive punch to these weapons.

After Desert Storm some of the Iraqi troops complained about suffering symptoms identical to radiation poisoning...hair falling out, teeth falling out, gums bleeding, skin falling off, nausea, etc.

Similar reports have come out of Afghanistan when survivors coming out of the caves have died a week or two later suffering from the same symptoms.

Oh, by the way, my generation, those born in the '50s and '60s have also had to deal with radiation. Please see the following website:

Nuclear Weapons Test Map

Run your cursor over the a-bomb clouds to get the number of tests conducted at those sites. Ever hear of a-bomb tests conducted in Mississippi? How about Alaska?
