The pacifists are probably already lining up to denounce the militarization of Outer Space. In this day of psychotic rogue States and irresponsible mindless destructive Islamofascist terrorist organizations, a military presence in Space may save the day for American National Interests when push comes to shove.

The old Cold War adversaries (Russia and China) are increasingly taking the side of Mohammedans that hate America. When the terrorists and rogues acquire (notice I said "when" and not "if") nuclear WMD, our Satellite monitoring defenses will priority protection. 

Yes it is obvious that we will need to protect ourselves and our way of life by military presence in Space.

There have been media rumors that China and Russia have acquired the ability to render American Satellites useless. Since China and Russia insist on arming Islamofascists it is imperative to weaponize Outer Space while have the capability to do so.

It is ironic that the so-called "Star Wars" program was one of the defense programs that the U.S.S.R. feared even with public evidence that such a system probably would not be viable. Reagan's Star Wars contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union's military solidarity. The Soviet military could not compete monetarily with increased military spending by America.

I wonder what the effect of weaponizing Outer Space will do to America's enemies.
