The benefit comes from the fact that all strategic sattelites occupying
GEO would be destroyed.  Obviously this would hurt both countries -- but
about 80%, I believe the article said, of US strategic (read military)
sattelites are in GEO, while nearly 80% of Russian military/strategic
sattelites are NOT in GEO.  Thus, the US would be hurt much more than
the USSR.
