Clearly no military is going to call in airstrikes on a data center.  The US congress is all over the map on this, and in a most puzzling development… it isn’t polarized.  How can that be?  Every single issue in recent memory has polarized the US congress, but this one didn’t.  Clearly they don’t even understand the question, but this same congress funded a mysterious new military branch called the US Space Force a few years ago.  All of the officers in the space force have top level clearances, so we don’t know what they are doing, and have no way of finding out.

Well ja, those of us who knew any of the people who quietly went off into the “Space” Force figured out at the time of its formation what that was.  That realization was made easier by the predecessor to the Space Force which was not under the military.  After 2009 they realized they couldn’t trust civilians with the clearance level needed to work in… the Space Force.  So… hello USSF.
