The difference is that there's no visionary general pushing for this. This is the president's vision, and he's getting resistance from a bunch of parasitic woketard deadwood in the Pentagon.
I’ve known “Killer Kwast” since the early 90’s.
A good and honorable man, parents were missionaries in Africa. Smart guy. I met him in our squadron (336 Rocketeers) when he was a young 1Lt that had more time in combat than in non-combat.
As a young Lt he was on the first F-15e Top Gun team.
One of those rare officers with a genuine heart that looked out for his men.
Eager guy that wanted to do the right and moral thing at all times.
Not a me-me-me kind of guy that we often see among the flag rank.
In 1995 I was in the Pentagon working on a team that was examining the concept of a Space Force. Over the years more studies done, technology changed or was invented, and some visionaries embraced the idea and Space Force never went away. Killer was one of those visionaries.
