[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Preparing For War? US House Wants To Create First New Military Branch Since 1947

There’s currently a push in the halls of Washington D.C., to establish a new branch of the military by 2019, one whose focus would be operations among the stars. Proposed legislation by House representatives would create a “Space Corps” that would serve “as a separate military service within the Department of the Air Force.”

It would be the first branch added to the military since 1947 when the Air Force was officially established.

I know, right? It's not like every modern military is utterly and completely dependent on satellites for communications, navigation, and reconnaissance. I don't know why anyone would care about anything in space.

Nope. It'll be part of the Air Force, so Space Airman.

Pretty much nothing. The only use for satellites is pretty much being able to watch the Superbowl.

The Air Force already handles most of our military space needs. I don't see wuy we need a whole new branch for this.

Definitely this. It's lot like the USAF has been testing unmanned spaceplanes capable of carrying munitions, not at all.

My dad told me when I was a young man, "If you ever want to know why things are the way they are, follow the money.".

This hasn't failed me yet. This is nothing more than a budget grab by the DoD. More specifically, the USAF. The black deep of space is more akin to the unexplored blue vastness of the oceans of early civilization so it seems more appropriate that this would be a navy specific mission but we are millennia away from anything close to a space going armed force. More likely the best we can muster for the next few centuries will be orbital munitions and electronic weaponry.

That is my thought as well.

Should be called the Space Marines. You know it, I know it. Government can't even get something that simple right.

Airforce funding will stay the same and have less responsibilities and duties like SPACE! And then they'll need seperate funding for the seperate branch... because its SPACE!
