The purpose of calling it a space force is to align the military industrial complex with NASA's mission. This isn't about creating a legitimate space force. Who would they fight? Its about the rebranding civilian science for military funding.

No, it's about rebranding existing military funding (mostly Air Force) to another type of military funding, the Space Force.

It’s about making something shiny to dupe the masses.
