Tiberius Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 President Donald Trump announced a new branch of the U.S. military, the “Space Force,” during a National Space Council meeting Monday. He directed the Department of Defense and the Pentagon to “immediately” begin establishing the force, which will focus on outer space. “Our destiny beyond the Earth is not only a matter of national identity but a matter of national security,” Trump said. He first mentioned the idea during a speech in March. If the Space Force is created, it would be the sixth branch of the armed forces. The newest branch is the Air Force, created 71 years ago.

The_Dude Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Trump is an idiot in terms of military understanding. Here’s to hoping Mattis bitchslaps him.
mead107 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 He is looking at the future so we can fight the little green men whe they come back to get their spaceship off the ocean floor. ???
Wacka Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 They've already been doing this for a while, Trump just wants to make it a separate branch of the military. My neighbor's son is in the Air force. He has beenststioned at a ton of aerospace facilities like Cape Canaveral, Write Patterson and traversal over the country .

Because the Navy’s commitments in the Pacific are expensive. Because Mars isn’t amassing an invasion force. Now, I’m all about space weapons to use to kill Chinese and Russian scum, but a space force is a farce of an idea. Let’s focus on killing what we need to kill.
