Trump orders establishment of 'space force' as 6th branch of military

Today Trump ordered the Pentagon to establish the 6th U.S. military branch, the U.S. Space Force.

Speaking at a meeting of the National Space Council, Trump ordered the Pentagon to immediately establish a national “space force” that would become the sixth branch of the armed forces.

“We are going to have a space force,” Trump said in Washington D.C. “An Air Force and a Space Force. Separate, but equal.”

This is not the first time that Trump has floated the idea of establishing a “space force.” The president mentioned the idea in May during a ceremony at the White House honoring the Army Black Knights college football team.

Trump did not go into details about what military role the so-called “space force” would carry out or who would command it, but he framed space as a national security issue, saying he does not want "China and Russia and other countries leading us."

The president said the United States will "be the leader by far" in space and is looking to revive the nation's flagging space program by returning the United States to the moon and soon reaching Mars.

We already have Marines, and they'd be pissed as fuck if someone else got that term. I mean, even more pissed since anger is a Marine's natural mental state, much like an Ork. That said "Guardians" is such a bland, inoffensive term it makes me wonder what they're really up to. Guarding my privacy by taking it for themselves, perhaps?

Orks aren’t angry they’re entirely indifferent.

But agreed Guardian is bland and in offensive purely for optics. We already know what they’re up to, the US is tired of sharing mere with the Russians and China already has plans for its own orbital station so the US wants to get up there before the bug man.

The Airforce has airmen so why shouldn't the Space force have Spacemen? I think we need to get the cooler professions related to the Space force before we can get the cooler names. Guardians sounds like the Coast Guard or National Guard trying to be pretentious and self important because the rest of the military picks on them. "I'm not a national guardsmen I'm a national guardian!"

I will say the British military is nicer to their reserves, referring to them as the SaS (Saturdays and Sundays)

They'll end up like the Navy and Air Force once the first space conflict breaks out. They'll be delegated to giving rides to space to whatever fighting force gets fucked with that job.

I used to know a couple of guys who were ex forces and they would call them weekend warriors.

Lt Col Lohmeier is an incredible leader and wholesome person. He's basically being forced into retirement; it breaks my heart.

Upper echelons of the military (esp. Air Force and Space Force) are being filled with open Marxists (Chief Master Sergeant Wright, CMSgt of the Air Force literally wrote a far-left diatribe on why white men terrify him during the Floyd riots), and there is a massive disconnect between them and the grunts who get the job done.

Maybe this is why they've pushed so hard to get women in special forces. They're such small and exclusive communities that they can't get any of their troons or cucks in to fuck things up from the inside. They're eventually gonna have to pick a new angle of attack. If a special forces guy criminally fucks up bad in the next 4 years, you can bet it will turn into a political rallying for reform, consolidation, or defunding. There have been politicians arguing that the Marine Corps should be dissolved because it has outlived its original purpose of preventing Naval mutinies.

It took a businessman like Trump to have the foresight to create a Space Force as I guess he was at some point told about the UFOs. And then a lawyer gets rigged in and its back to lawyers proving why people wish they were at the bottom of the ocean.

In the US or British navies? Near as I can tell the USMC were set up because our Navy needed a bunch of perpetual drunkards to handle dirty work for them.

They were founded because Naval captains were often tyrannical dicks to their crew which led to regular mutiny. The Marines were first used as captain's guard to kill the sailors when they turned on their command.

I found the worse part was the press gangs so they were forced into it and on top threatened with force. But I am going off what the movie Mutiny on the Bounty taught me lol.

Erm... no? That was always secondary to their role as amphibious landing forces.

There was a rumor that Trump was ready to reveal something about UFOs during his presidency but had to cancel it at the last minute.

Why don't Dems want us going in to space?

Because they're all Reptoids looking to keep us on one planet, that way we're easier to control and later on, harvest.

There was some catparty article where the far left doesn't want it because muh white privilege and poor mud people and niggers are not getting their gibs and wont be able to go into space.

It's money that could be spent on inner city programs involving people that have double digit IQs. A space program would be financially rewarding people on merit more, which takes Dems' base out of the equation.

Uniforms were unveiled today. Pretty kino.

All the blue checks on Twitter are still seething hard that Space Force is a thing, which I find absolutely hilarious given their love of government bloat, FUCKING SCEINCE, and Star Wars.
