Trump space force: US to set up sixth military branch
President Donald Trump has ordered the US military to establish a sixth branch of its armed forces - a "space force".
The US president said on Monday it would bolster national security and the economy with the creation of jobs.
"It is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space," Mr Trump said at the White House.
He also promised that the US would "return Americans to the Moon" and would eventually send people to Mars.

All this from a country that needs to ask the Russians to get it's astronauts to and from the ISS?
They can't even get to low Earth orbit but think they can have a "space force"?
Funding for Nasa has been cut and money thrown away by cancelling projects part way through... so sad

Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

Just a distraction, there isn;t going to be any space force.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Damn Khem, I just invested in a Duck Dodgers toddler space warrior training camp.

You lot absolutely need this. When the aliens invade, you'll have the Space Force ready to separate them from their spawnlings, which will serve as a deterrent to further illegal crossings of the space border.

I figured the AFSC would eventually become it's own branch, there was talk of making it a sixth branch back when it was first started decades ago, but this still seems premature. We just don't have enough of a presence in space to justify it.
