Apparently the Air Force has taken it upon themselves to declare that they are now going to dominate not ONLY space...but cyber space...

See for yourself. Look at the logo on the right hand side of the screen. Interesting...

    That is kinda weird. Perhaps they have some elite group of hackers that can cripple an enemy's computer systems when needed or something like that.

    Future wars will be fought by nerds on the internet. Less blood, more HP loss.

    I believe it is the move towards Unmanned Combat Airborne Vehicles. Some of the most sophisticated and advanced technologies belong to the U.S. Air Force. Airborne Command Centers and Aerial Survellience vehicles and satellite systems all fall under Air Force jurisdiction.
    Example: From an airborne Command Center (E-4B), virtual pilots can command the control operations on unmanned air vehichles, such as the Global Hawk. These systems are interconnected by Air Force satellite systems so the command center can remain far from hostile airspace and away from danger. These systems can remain airborne and loiter over the theater of operations for long periods, with pilots in the command center taking shifts, instead of being expect to fly 72 hour sorties.
    When a hostile combatant is seen... an unmanned combat vehicle can be dispatched to destroy the target.
    ...
    There are some unmanned vehicles that can fly missions autonomously. That is, take off from a base with a pre-programed mission profile. If it encounters something along it's way... it is able to identify it as friend or foe and assess its threat level. If the new target poses a greater threat, it will destroy it first... and continue with its original mission. If it is a threat of lesser value... it will continue on its original mission and address the lesser threat if armarment is still available. If it is not a threat... it is ignored. After the mission is completed... it returns to base.
    All of this falls under the command of the Air Force.

    Isn't that kind of an oxi-moron? How do you own something that is void of anything? lol.

    It was a sarcastic statement towards people who think that militarizing space is ok
