Corruption, incompetence, poor leadership, etc.
Exhausted too much political capital chasing dead ends in Afghanistan and Iraq. Far easier to focus on non-existential threats than to address the elephant in the room.

To me the Space Force is terribly tainted by association. I don’t know what will change that, but vague claims of threats doesn’t.

While the description of Trump is accurate, that of the US Space Force is not: it does not exist as a separate department, it is a separate uniformed service within the Department of the Air Force, much as the Marine Corps is within the Department of the Navy.
- MBCook 5y agoThat’s what I meant, sorry. Bring its own branch as opposed to when it was a part of the other branches. My mistake in word choice. You’re correct.
