Blocking out the sun, thus making the enemy really cold.... and since they are afraid of the dark, they will scatter and cry for mamma

Not quite as catchy as Bombs Over Baghdad.

I hope somebody builds another lighter than air passenger liner in my lifetime, taking a nice long trip in one would be awesome.

It's 4 miles up. Only a handful of countries, none of which we are in war with could get to it.

it's only 20,000 feet. Any large round like the old 76.2mm's used in WW1 would be able to knock it down. A plain old howitzer laid on a hill would get far enough. It's not like you need to be all that accurate if you shoot enough rounds.

Maybe we'll catch Bin Laden coming out of his cave to take a piss.

I would think it would be a tad hard to estimate it's location in the sky without reference.

watchin fags tryin to ambush our troops is what thats for.
afgans hide in the mountainous terrain when fighting. eyes in the sky nullify that advantage. if you were on that rocky ground you'd want as many eyes in the sky as possible.
