The Pentagon is sending dozens of spy balloons to Afghanistan in order to spot insurgents. The balloons cost about $10 million each, so the military is being very strongly reminded not to let go of the string.

The spy balloons are effective due to their 10 to 15 mile-range cameras, plus they boost troops’ morale because the helium makes the soldiers’ voices sound hilarious.
