Trump's Space Force will shake up military bureaucracy for the better
By Angelo M. Codevilla, opinion contributor — 07/03/18 04:00 PM EDT
 

Three cheers for President Trump’s decision to add a Space Force to the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

In the 61 years since Sputnik, all the world’s militaries have come to depend on information from objects in earth orbit. A dozen employ instruments of communication and information there. Orbital space is ballistic missiles’ highway. Satellites offer the prospect of preclusive defense against such missiles through control of access to space, and are key to (among other things) efficient operation of ground-based missile defenses.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
