Right idea, wrong armament. Mounted with the Airborne Laser which is designed for missile defense and you have one very potent weapon. The North Koreans have been shooting laser beams at our troops in order to blind them.
Imagine if our response were a kilojoule laser which would vaporize a human being. Like popping ants with a magnfiying glass. Heck those North Korean troops would start running North and wouldn't be stopped, except by maurauding polar bears!!!
Wasn't that the idea behind that old 80s movie with Val Kilmer, "Real Genius" ????
