Trump: “We should have a new force called the Space Force. It’s like the Army and the Navy, but for space, because we’re spending a lot of money on space.” https://twitter.com/christinawilkie/status/973667887708823556/photo/1

The Trump administration is registering more than two dozen objections to the House's 2018 defense policy bill, including a new space-focused branch of the military, it announced in a policy statement Wednesday. 

how will the Trumpers spin this 6-month 180?

Army = Armed Forces
Navy = Naval Forces

So presumably the Space Force would be nicknamed the Spacies.

Just have the Air Force transport the Army into space to fight futuristic space wars. Why would we need a new branch?

Niether branch has the experience of living in a tin can for months at a time. Marines and Navy have that experience.

Alright all jokes aside folks.

Is he really talking about space marines and shit.

Or is he talking about orbital bombing... cause one of those is pretty fucking concerning.

Considering our military forces greatly depend on satellites to be able to function we absolutely do have to be concerned with space warfare. 

Even CNN thinks it's a good idea: https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/28/politics/space-war-us-military-preparations/index.html

Memeing aside, dedicating a portion of the military to the space domain in smart, because as we focus more on peer adversaries it's going to become the new "front line" of any military operation. As it is, losing GPS basically ruins any operation before it begins.

I can't speak about China, but Russia's "space forces" are basically about ballistic missile defense more than anything...

Anyway, I do remember Congress specifically calling for this last year (or was it 2016? time is flying). Their intent was to create a separate branch to manage space asset development, deployment and operation because they believed that the Air Force was siphoning funding from the "space budget" for other, non-space related stuff.

And of course no one wanted it back then so I don't know why Trump would bring it up again...

We already have the Air Force for space. It's called the Air Force.

Sounds great.
You'd all be for it if Elon Musk proposed it.
Trump should endorse and fund plans for World Devastators and a Sister Ray Cannon which CERN seems to be working on..

Had plans to suggest this to Obama, but I doubt it would have went anywhere with him since he denied the Death Star idea.

    I read an article that quoted his idea for this, apparently it was "something he said jokingly" but then he said "you know what it's actually a good idea". 

    That's this guy's thought process.
