  1.  @spidif2544  Yeah, several military experts laughed at Billy Mitchell when he argued for Air Power and warned that there was a glaring weakness in the defenses of Pearl Harbor. Exactly 15 years (minus 10 days) after he was court-martialed, the Japanese conducted the attack on Pearl Harbor exactly as he predicted.

  2. NORAD's job is to protect the North American airspace from unauthorized entry. They failed in their mission spectacularly. "99 red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusing it on the sky The 99 red balloons go by" -99 Luftballons by Nena.

  3. Look up Japan's Fu-Go balloon bombs from WW2. China just perfected that weapon. And with the tacit assistance of New Zealand, no less.

  4. Yeah, those balloons carried incendiary bombs which started a few forest fires. If you were trying to make a point, you basically proved the counter-position.
