So I was an Airman and I have to say, if the Space Force was active in the 90’s, I would have transferred.

@@chickenflavor9880 Oh really!? I guess you prefer a criminal fraud and wannabe neo-fascist authoritarian dictator who has no respect for the law, the US Constitution or American democracy. How exactly would he be doing a better job than Biden, when in the 4 years Trump was in office he managed to alienate the US from all its allies over the last 100 years making America the laughing stock of the World, he gave huge tax cuts to the already wealthy and virtually nothing to the middleclass and poor, and due to his pathetic response to the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic he managed to crash the economy, cause the highest unemployment since the 'Great Depression' and through his criminal negligence and lies managed to be largely responsible for the death of 500,000 Americans. His so-called presidency (small p intended) was hardly a shining light of American exceptionalism. Thanks to Trump and his fawning sycophants, cronies and ignorant deluded followers of his cult of personality, the Republican Party of Lincoln has devolved into an anti-democratic, QAnon conspiracy following band of kooks, racists and con artists. P.T.Barnum was right when he said "There's a sucker born every minute". Maybe your KZfaq handle should be 'Chicken Brain!'

The U.S. Space is dead serious about space as a battleground. Read their Space Capstone Publication from 10 Aug 2020. They use the term "warfighting" 23 times. Then, just for fun, read Space Force America, a science "faction" collection of short stories based on the real Space Force and its manifesto.
