What’s wrong with the uniform?

It’s not “traditional military” and looks maybe a little futuristic, but it’s the dang Space Force. Isn’t that kind of the point?
Nonetheless, very interesting interview. So will the next world war consist of countries just bombing out other countries satellites from behind a keyboard from someone’s basement? Seems like you could set a country back a couple decades technologically if you took out satellite capability.

The next world war will be fought in all domains, land, sea,

air, space, and cyberspace. Too many folks want to make war sound way more complicated than it actually is but at the end of the day the next world war will boil down to what just about all warfare is about: acquiring/taking resources be it land, minerals, or human labor.
Keyboard and push button warfare can do a lot of damage but does have its limitations. One of the universal truths of warfare is that you can bomb a piece of ground till it glows and nothing but rubble remains but you don't own that ground until you are physically standing on it.

Is not completely obliterating the absurdity and pork-barreled dumb fuckery that is "Space Force".
It is made up Trumpgasm garbage that this admin should have killed.

My kid worked on a Space Force rocket launch earlier

this month,
ULA's Atlas V rocket will launch the USSF-12 mission directly to geosynchronous orbit for the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command. The two payloads onboard are the Wide Field of View testbed and the USSF-12 Ring.
Next month she helps launch another Space Force spacecraft
A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 421 rocket will launch the sixth and final Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (SBIRS GEO 6) spacecraft for the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command (SSC)

That's good info and interesting stuff, actually. I hadn't heard of any of that so I googled around. I know "Space Force's" mission is actually critical and is going to be increasingly necessary, the question a lot of us have is the, uhm...odd way it was rolled out and presented, and the fact that most folks wouldn't trust Trump to hire a reputable dogcatcher, much less successfully roll out and implement a new and very tech-savvy service branch. Most of his endeavors fall somewhere between Trump University and Truth Social.
But the Wide Field of View satellite and the USSF-12 service ring are definitely intriguing. For anyone interested:
https://spacenews.com/l3harris-to-begin-pre-launch-work-on-wide-field-of-view-missile-defense-satellite/
https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/us-space-systems-command-ussf12/
Follow-up question for NC: The USSF-12 article said towards the end: "The space vehicles will provide capability against adversaries in the highly contested space domain."
I was curious about that because that's as vague a statement as I've ever heard...and it was a little ominous. Are those space vehicles armed? What kind of "capabilities" are we talking about here? Are we starting to get into that Star Wars stuff that Reagan always talked about?

Strategic Defense Initiative...aka "Star Wars"
Now that was an expensive adventure. This seems like the successor program. The Beltway Bandits are alive and well.
