And a new way to deplete the stocks of US military missiles

What good is having missiles if you can't fire them at balloons?

Plus, in theory, a slow-moving balloon should be pretty easy to hit with a 20mm shell.

Then you have more missiles to use on things harder to hit, like enemy jets.

At $400,000 a pop, we should start billing China! (or whoever)

;)

Right? Just wait until one of our pilots, divers, or troops on the ground doing recovery gets killed.

What's Joe going to do then, regale us with tales about his son Beau died in Iraq?
