Topic	Trump Officially Creates another Military Branch, the 'Space Force'...
Far-Queue 12/21/19 10:52:06 PM #36:	LinkPizza posted... Making a branch isn't going to make new people, though. If they need more people, they recruit more people. It's as simple as that. Making a new branch when we still don't need one is what's going to spread us too thin when we're already hurting for people... And as of right now, since we do handle space, we can't do more by just getting a branch that does exactly what the Air Force does and calling it something different. That's what I don't understand. You going to get a few people who already does what the Air Force does, call it something different, and think that means we have superiority now? That's doesn't make any sense to me... When there's a need for the Space Force, we get it. Because if we make it now, there's nothing they're doing that isn't already being handled... Which is a waste of money and resources... Which we already don't have... And cuts manning, which is already low... Are you under the impression that I'm saying that Trump announcing a Space Force means it's going to materialize out of thin air? As I've already said, they need to plan and build this thing properly. It's going to take time. It's going to take resources. It's going to take a whole hell of a lot of money. And it's going to require people. Some I would think would come from other branches until the thing was fully operational, but yes. They'll need to recruit and train a shit ton of people. And they need to *start* to get this thing rolling. Saying they need to *start* getting this thing going does not mean "instantly put together a Space Force out of nothing to the detriment of the Air Force". It means plan the thing out, study what needs and goals we need to fulfill, invest in training and tech and weaponry, build said tech and weapons, train the soldiers, etc and etc and etc. I agree to an extent that it doesn't necessarily need to be a whole separate branch, which is why I drew the comparison to the Marines. But it definitely needs to happen, and the sooner the better. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light...
