Trump's Call For A 'Space Force' Makes Him The Laughingstock Of The Galaxy


President Donald Trump thinks the United States should launch a “Space Force,” a branch of the military devoted to wars in space.

“Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea,” Trump said on Tuesday at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. “We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we’ll have the Space Force.”

At first, Trump said he wasn’t serious about the notion.

“Then I said, ‘What a great idea!’ Maybe we’ll have to do that,’” Trump said. “So think of that: Space Force, because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous.”

He also described the U.S. military as “vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars.”

I guess Trump feels the need to compete with modern day PT Barnum, carnival huxter, Elon Musk.

We are going to have a big military parade to honor Trump's Mars mission. One float with have a giant dick and balls blasting off to Mars.

The whole concept sounds wacky as hell... I'm not sure that a new military branch can be created by presidential decree. I believe Congress has to authorize it and a bill for this, last year failed in the House. All I can say is our time and tax dollars can be spent in much more important ways...

It's just a spectacle of nonsense. The USAF already has a "space command" that quietly coordinates the Armed Services and is taking the lead on any space based activity and some even claim we have "non-terrestrial officers" or secret military astronauts and this proclamation is decades too early. The USAF is taking the lead and has considered some sort of unified military service based loosely on the US Coast Guard in rank, structure and purpose...

Yup. Mattis wasn't exactly amused. But see there is no air in space so we need Space Force not Air Force. Haha!
