The move is sure to anger Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who is continuing a hold on senior military nominations that is now impacting more than 300 flag and general officers over the Pentagon’s abortion policy. Tuberville has been an outspoken proponent of moving SPACECOM to Alabama. But US officials have previously told CNN that they had concerns about Alabama’s reproductive health policies and what it would mean for servicemembers there if SPACECOM were moved to Huntsville.
The fact that Alabama elected a former football coach to the senate is so on brand for the state it hurts. Guy’s a moron
The whole south is a joke. Louisiana elected a racist shit cop whole people thought was badass cause he’d make some little gravy seal news clips calling out gangs.
Guess we won’t go into our sister planet.
I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama and that place has a crack problem. The old boys and soldiers smoke that shit. It’s crazy.
“THOSE DEMOCRATS WEAPONIZING GUBBERMENT” -Alabama
A) You’re thinking of Space Force, not SPACECOM.
B) Space Force isn’t anything new. It is doing the same projects it was doing under the Air Force, with the same budget it had under the Air Force, with mostly the same officers/leadership it had under the Air Force.
C) You can debate about whether a trillion dollar defense industry is ridiculous. That’s valid. But if you assume we need a defense industry that large, then the work the Space Force does (again, which hasn’t changed since it was the Air Force) is absolutely necessary in the modern era.
