I sincerely hope talk of a sixth branch of the military (Space Force) goes away with the reactivation of USSPACECOM as a combatant command which was signed today. His ego is well documented so hopefully he doesn't push to have a new branch just so he can say he did it. The country and military will be far better off with this combatant command rather than a branch of service. The silliness of deactivating USSPACECOM in 2002 just because we already had ten combatant commands and the US was going to activate US Northern command as a combatant command. That would have made too many combatant commands.
Anyway, a new branch of service will just expand the turf battles among the services. The combatant commander will be able to exercise wartime space ops and gather the needed resources to engage in wartime space ops. And it will all be done at a better cost than establishing a branch of service.
