You DO realize that the United States has had a mostly CIVILIAN and PEACEFUL presence in space, other than military satellites of course, since the 1960's, right? You do have at least THAT much grasp of history?
Enlistment hasn't even begun; besides basic drill, these people are going to have to learn avionics, astrophysics, engineering, navigation, zero-gravity training, G-force resistance training, and so much more, like the heretofore unexplored fields of cosmic warfare; ballistic weapons are useless in a vacuum, and the mass of an object in space dictates that the battery size for a handheld laser weapon would be impractical for space combat; how do we engineer armored space suits, armored space ships (some parts of larger vehicles, like the shuttle, were actually nothing more than chemically treated canvas only a few tenths of an inch thick) and how to get them up there - because the rocketry physics necessary to put that kind of hardware into orbit is just not practical, which means, if you want to assemble it in space, first you need to assemble a platform in space, so first, we have to design the platform, design the machinery and the workspaces in which the finished armored space vehicles will be assembled...you're accusing me of mocking the name of a group of active-duty "Guardians" lmfao who won't even come on duty for another ten to fifteen years.
That's IF Biden allows this travesty of literally cosmic proportions to even continue. Hopefully he'll cut that and a lot more fat from the grotesquely bloated military budget, and after taxing the rich properly, divert the funds into making sure everyone has food and shelter, you know, because you can't have Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness without, you know, Life.
