#1 1/ Colder air is thicker air, so the heliopters will work better.
2/ Talibunnies will stand out more against the cold background.

Good hunting!

#3 Reminds me of the scene on the Unforgiven, where they are talking about how they'd rather be shot when it was warm. Cause everything hurts worse when its cold, like when its cold outside and you hit your thumb with a hammer, it hurts more.

#7 It's how the American Army took the war to the plains Indians. It was hard and tough campaigning in the winter, nearly impossible, but still executed because the natives couldn't move without risking just as deadly exposure to the elements. Leverage your advantage over your opponent's disadvantage.

#12 iblis, the Halliburton Weather Control Division isn't stupid. They are holding off global warming in Afghanistan so that Bush can kill more innocent bunnies and fluffy ducks.
