The House has passed a bill establishing 6th branch of the US military: a Space Force. We are militarizing space! Yet nobody seems to be registering it much. No buzz. No real conversation. No real corporate media coverage. Our acquiescence is stunning. We’re. Militarizing. Space.

Look we know it's probably a bad idea, but we want Gundams, and Earth Wars just aren't getting us there fast enough.

Oh honey you need to catch up with what’s going on. Space has been militarized and occupied by us and others for a very long time. I highly recommend learning about our secret space program starting with the Germans
Why, as MOC, are you not in the House?
Replying to @marwilliamson
We already have a space force, they're just scattered positions around the DoD. This is an exercise in streamlining organization, not capacity building.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Not much conversation to be had. From what I understand it’s just a renaming of space command which has been run by the Air Force for years. And they’re leaving it in the hands of the Air Force. It’s just something for them to pat their own backs about. Not really much change imo

Correction, we are defending the free world because no one else can.
