There is not going to be a space force, the Air-Force and the Pentagon openly deny this claim.
InnerUniverse
inb4 there are more people in mobile infantry than fleet or military intelligence.

I'm so glad I've found my Trek tribe online. What an amazing feat for the internet.

In Canada, when you call someone a space cadet it’s generally not a positive thing.
Calicoastin818
tRump is already a space cadet he has ton of experience as well being cadet bone spurs
Lethous
Space force is not what you think.
fuckthisshitwebsite
The Air Force already runs space war. This is just rebranding a department. Like the formation of the TSA. Space TSA
dietderpsy
Space Force is about combining all of the satellite assets under one agency, a job now done by multiple agencies.

Hold that thought until an adult moves into the Oval Office.

Space Force will be separate but equal!
NickRivieraMD
@LeppyV We're all space cadets here.

That’s all it takes...great post!

Space cadet? Shut up, Wesley.

Let's go to space!

Thought the Air Force had that covered...
danielsan1977
It did, but for some reason, we need another branch of government, because small government.

Explore don't conquer space
AntiCircleJerker
"Explore don't conquer space?" Well what does "explore do to space?" Commas, now available to everyone.

Your president fucked porn stars and wants to build a space force. I should be fucking thrilled.
ThisBeatIsBonkers
Should be, but can't be. :/
TheGriffin
Ugh I know. I literally hate him
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Its just a distraction from all the other bullshit theyre trying to pull. Like slashing funding to social programs.
dzortizi
Good.
TylersSenseOfEnnui
Ya? Fuck social programs?
eyebelieveanything
Not distracting from that.... way too proud of of cutting social safety nets! Especially if Obama had anything to do with it
danishjuggler21
Or their next big EPA initiative: making it legal to hold down animals and shove toxic waste directly in their orifices.
DoggoPicsMakeMeHungry
I think I see where you're going with this. They're trying to legitimize chem trails too.
Himura82
The Pentagon already shot down the idea anyway. Plus Congress has to approve it and even they aren't that dumb.
GnomeDeGuerre
Sure about that?
OriginaIPoster
What is dumb about "Space Force"?
PhilFreeman
Yep. There's no feasible means to produce a space force, but it sounds fun enough to distract the sheeple.
Camelspotting
...but we already have one, it's just part of the Air Force.
DoggoPicsMakeMeHungry
Totally feasible. You just have to set the goal posts really close. Then you can say, "mission accomplished."
iAmLordBeer
Kinda like North Korea
Vergenbuurg
There is only one Space Force.
Crowbarmaster
YES!! Your the reason I love imgur!!

Royal Space Force. Gainax's first full-length anime, but not successful at the time. Gunbuster was their next project; the rest is history.
DrWolfram
Thought that was Planetes intro at first
ReallyGoodBee
Honestly, given that it's Trump, it's probably just an excuse to further inflate the defense budget.
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
And take money away from NASA.
ReallyGoodBee
Best case, he folds NASA into the US army and they get a piece of all that sweet, sweet army money.
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
Then they wouldn't be NASA, literally. Not even 'The same thing by another name'.
Slasher2977
Air Force. Though I'd rather it be the army honestly.
SciNZ
Bush Jnr, Obama and now Trump all threw out big space plans as a way to change subject during drama. None of them happened, nor will this.
Cyraheim
Don't forget Reagan! Starrrrrrr Warrrrrrs!
PacomeDeCardognac
Hell, even JFK was desperately trying to throw a smoke screen over a certain war he was really hoping wouldn't blow up.
elShiz
To clarify it's also consolidating agencies that access/own satellites into 1 entity. Single "call" instead of dozens or more to gain access
DonaldJTrump
DrWhosYourDaddy
Right! Obama dumped space for budget
Slasher2977
Trump put a general in charge. That doesn't happen unless it's more than likely happening. A damn good general too.
CoffeeTrampTossBitch
Don't worry, he'll fire that general within a week
Slasher2977
I doubt it, he's a good general. Though he did tell him he'd fire him if he didn't live up to his reputation.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
PotUS doesn't have the authority to create new military branches, only Congress. Trump can say whatever he wants, but Congress has shot down
Slasher2977
I know you desperately don't want it to happen. We will revisit it if it comes to a pass and I'll tell you I told you so. Good day
NotMyUsualOnlineName
the idea of a Space Force at least twice in the past 30 years or so. Even if Trump did "go rogue" and establish his own SF, Congress would
NotMyUsualOnlineName
refuse to fund it.
iamthisguy247
I bet there’s already been a secret space force for like 70 years now.
Nikolai5
Unlikely. I'd be happy if they secretly had better tech than we know about but they won't have.
Dangermouse5
Air force space plane...been up at least twice now on multimonth missions. It wasnt to monitor penguin migration im sure.
Lavie154
“Secret”? We literally have the 30th Space Wing, the 45th Space Wing (vandenberg and cape canaveral respectively), the AF Space Command, etc
orbitn
yes, we put a new platoon into space every week. you just cant see it because they walk through the door and climb the dome.
Blundermore
Stargate?
CoeusDarksoul
Stargate.
Pokegeologist
Didn't the Air Force have its own space station around the time of Apollo or Skylab? It was little more than a manned spy satellite, though.
Craizie
YOU DONT KNOW THAT FOR SURE!!!!!!
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Dont forget Reagan.
darkhavana0512
Cyclicus
It was Reagan that ended ASAT technology, as did the Soviet Union. The Chinese know the first shot fired is going to be at a satellite.
Camelspotting
As if we don't have satellite killers.
BangstickMagnum
SR-72?
Leajjes
The Star Wars program!
alexzefrench
i would argue that it was still the cold war under Reagan, so perhaps a little bit more relevant at the time...
ReporterReportingIn
He's the one who wanted to implement "Star Wars," right?
AirplanesgoZoom
He used a fake space laser that could shoot nukes out of the sky to end the Cold War.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
Then the un said that nobody's allowed to put super weapons in space.
Coykoi23518
"fake space laser". You mean failed. The lasers actually existed and they steal teach about them in the military.
ColostomyBrag
I don't get why the idea of space development is so appealing until a president suggests it. It's fucking space. Let's go there. Who cares>>
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
"Space force" is not "Space development." Don't cloud the issue with equivocation and false comparisons
ColostomyBrag
>>who the fuck suggests it.
whatwhonow
Nobody is saying it's unappealing, we're just saying that it's not gonna be followed through on.
dennydorko
What drama was Obama trying to distract from?

dennydorko
The ones that weren't rightwing conspiracy theories or didn't involve him directly were just bad decisions, not necessariiy "drama."
