The four-star general also endorsed the Biden administration’s recent unilateral declaration of a ban on anti-satellite tests that create debris in space. Gen. Raymond said he backs the idea of trying to deter conflict in space through arms agreements to establish international “norms” for military space operations.

Put him on the list to fire on day one of Trump’s 3rd term. Generals need to keep their yaps shut.

Perhaps that very intention will be mentioned at one of the next rallies. Looking forward to hearing it.

Biden and this creep are on board with castrating the US - they already announced that the US will kill its anti-satellite program. So why not cede the rest to China also?

Just a question of time before SpaceX becomes a Chinese property.

The eight stars on a general’s uniform exert an attraction for two additional stars with a pull equivalent to the gravity of eight Quasars.

Fire him on day one of Trump’s 2nd term. Reinstate the first Space Force commander who they fired for pointing out that socialists in the government were the biggest threat to the US.

Oh, and fire the guy who fired him.
