    We are not supposed to go to war without congress declaring it. That doesn't stop us from bombing the shit out of people. We used to call it a police action. Now it's called spreading democracy. The government is full of crooks. They all have a get out of jail free card. They really don't give a shit. Sure our time and tax dollars can be spent in better ways. How many trillion have we wasted in Iraq? Trump campaigned on rebuilding our infrastructure. I don't see that being done. I think that takes priority over Space Force.

        The president is commander in chief of the US military forces. He has a lot of power over military operations. He can't declare war. He does not control the purse. He probably can create a new military branch on his own but he can't finance it without house approval.

                    Personally I think a Space Force is a wonderful concept. I've had about enough of these fucking Ewoks.

                                Reminds me of the crap Reagan got when he announced the Star Wars program. People called him Ronald Ray Gun and made all sorts of fun at it. It turns out the whole thing was a psyops to get the Soviets to spend money they didn't have to try and match us on this new fake program. It worked. It helped financially break the Soviet Union and lead to it's demise.

                                Space Force sounds dumb enough to be another psyops. Ha! Ha! if General Mattis is throwing a tizzy fit just to make it look more real then he's really getting into the part.

                                    Wow so you are saying that this is so fucking stupid it is clever.

                                    Ever hear of Occam's razor? Also this would be a psyops against who? Not the Russians so who else, maybe Americans?
