Why was it USDoD decided against deploying crowbars from orbit?
(That would be hypersonic darts with only enough propellant to re-enter, and then with control surfaces to guide it to a precise target at hypersonic speed.)

Likewise, bombers. Expensive, can be shot down, take forever.
I guess whatever target you hit with it would have to be worth as much as it cost to get the thing into orbit.
