Trump Directs Pentagon to Create ‘Space Force’ Branch of Military

“The essence of the American character is to explore new horizons and to tame new frontiers.”

Well… yes.

… his directive will task the Defense Department to begin the process of establishing the ‘Space Force’ as the sixth branch of the U.S. armed forces. He said the new branch’s creation will be overseen by Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“We are going to have the Air Force and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal.”

Unfortunate phraseology, but damned straight.

As expected, this will be met with derision and snark. But that’s ok… so long as it actually happens. Because a USSF is about 50 years overdue.

To see some snark:

C’mon man, ‘Space Marines’ was RIGHT THERE

“It’s amazing that we have a President that bangs porn stars and wants a space force and I still hate him. ”

The 80’s aesthetic actually really works here.
