== Space force ==
Trump reportedly directed the Pentagon to begin the process of creating a space force: [https://www.axios.com/trump-directs-pentagon-to-create-a-space-force-e458ce3e-7a95-43c9-9361-615112d50f58.html1],[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/18/trump-orders-establishment-space-force-as-6th-branch-military.html2],[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/18/donald-trump-orders-pentagon-to-create-a-space-force/3],[http://thehill.com/policy/defense/392799-trump-directs-pentagon-to-create-space-force4],[https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-calls-for-space-force-in-major-military-revamp-15293517265],[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jun/18/donald-trump-calls-new-space-force-military-branch/6] This might be something to add, but I don't see any signs, besides a statement from a WH press secretary, that this was an official action, and it might be too early to add. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 17:29, 18 June 2018 (EDT)
:I've been hearing the news too. It might be okay to add it now, though I don't know what this branch will look like or do. We are restricted by the U.N. and international treaties as to what we can do militarily in space. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 19:21, 18 June 2018 (EDT)
::If this was an actual action that Trump made, then I would definitely support adding it -- and I am now leaning toward adding it. Hopefully, the Trump Administration (or any other administration) will choose to put U.S. law/interests above the UN and "international law." --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 22:09, 18 June 2018 (EDT)
:::Mattis made some interesting statements on why he changed his position on creating a space force: [http://thehill.com/policy/defense/401501-mattis-defends-reversing-his-stance-on-trumps-space-force1],[https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/08/13/secretary-of-defense-jim-mattis-supports-president-trumps-space-force-proposal/2] --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 21:59, 12 August 2018 (EDT)
