Do you think that having a space force as a military branch is an exaggeration or just a preventive measure?
Does it make the future seem a lot more twisted and macabre or is it an indicator of progress?

It's an excuse to spend money they don't have developing weapons and computer system technology they can then sell.
Ordinarily they'd do this through military systems and weapons testing.
But they know there are no wars to fight that would justify this kind of expense at this time.

@Picklebobble2 then what did they say to the public? "We're developing a space force and its purpose is..." what exactly? Or do they not explain at all?

@HannibalAteMeOut Mention the word 'SPACE' and 'FORCE' to many and they think of that daft fight scene from the James Bond movie 'MOONRAKER'.

'Oooh ! That's how future wars will be !" Folk are LESS likely to complain or demonstrate against the conventional arms race propaganda that usually accompanies this type of announcement.
