Trump is right on Space Force

The media called Reagan a dunce too but time has proven his wisdom and effectiveness. It takes time to develop technology. Star wars, SDI, wasn't a failure. It brought Gorby to realize that the Soviets couldn't match us in this new realm. By 87 the wall was down and the game was over at least for the time being. We've had 30 years of breathing space 16 of which were wasted by two presidents that believed in unilateral disarmament. When Clinton came in he gutted SDI missile defense in favor of Patriot style defense and so that is why even now we only have theatre missile defense and almost nothing to protect against ICBM attacks en masse. Obama did similarly by cutting funding. Our vulnerability is directly traceable to these two geniuses. I'm all for space based energy weapons that knock out launches on the up-phase or can take out satellites if necessary. In hindsight, Eisenhower was right when he thought of creating a space force. We'd own space and despite our flaws, better us than Red Team.
