When the joint chiefs feel the need to wade into the political arena, things have gone very wrong.

It's disturbingly necessary unfortunately. Not only for people considerably worried Trump has some control over the military outside the scope of his Constitutionally given powers, but also as a not so subtle hint to the members of the military to step in line top to bottom or to be prepared for dismissal/BCD/DD via the UCMJ (paragraph 4 is sledgehammer levels of subtlety).

@just-jeepin This really shouldn't be necessary. It's a pretty strong indication that they are worried about the number of who servicemen and women who might be buying in Trump's bullshit.

Somewhat relatedly, I think "Space Corps" sounds way better than Space Force.
