President Donald Trump used a term from US segregationist history to describe the relationship between the Air Force and his newest military branch, the Space Force, calling it "separate but equal."

the thing is, this will probably result in incredible advances in space tech because that's what always happens with the military.

Based on the topic title, I was expecting that he would have said "Only white people are allowed to join though" and considering trump is trump, I believed it before clicking.

They've been talking about this for a few years now, kind of a superfluous thing tbh. I think there's a stronger argument for merging the various cyber forces into a singular branch as opposed to anything specifically space oriented.

In space, there is no air. So we cant use the Air Force, thats why Im creating the Space Force. Its going to be huge, so big, and everyone will love it. If all goes well, we will be on Mars soon enough to harvest more candy bars before supplies run out.

The USAF already has a space command.

And the USAF has dangerous jobs too like being a pilot for one or being in pararescue.

It's not just the Air Force, the Navy also has its fair share in the space pie.

And Congress' argument a couple years ago for pushing for a space force (at a time when literally no one else in government, especially in the DoD wanted it) was that the Air Force was misappropriating the funds that were specified for the space program.

Its because of funding and science. Military gets the credit because they have the credits. We could do it much better without the jarheads.

imagine how the story would be spun if obama had said that. like 'hes using this phrase as a means of stepping into the new, into the future, and putting aside the differences that once stood in our country's ways'

trump's an idiot but the way they spin shit in the media, and the way people eat it like it's groceries, makes me want to pee all over everything
