SNIP:
Anti-missile laser on a B2 painted 'smoke' orbiting at 40,000? Since
it would be shooting down the range would be equivalent to about 3
miles of sea-level air and the beam would be effective - don't know
how narrow it would be but certainly enough to cook an armed man. Dead
is dead; the cause of death is irrelevant as long as there is no
'collateral damage'.
