In a large, tin-roofed warehouse near Colorado's Rocky Mountains, members of a team of modern space warriors spend their days hatching plots to defeat the US military in extraterrestrial combat.

They're called Space Aggressors.

Their job is to act like the enemy during mock space battles to help US units prepare for a conflict that may one day extend into the cosmos.

"We play the bad guys," said Captain Christopher Barnes, chief of training for the 26th Space Aggressor Squadron. "Our job is to not only understand the different types of threats and potential enemies, but also to be able to portray them and replicate them for the good guys, our Air Force."

".....a conflict that may one day extend into the cosmos." Right, like we don't ALREADY have weapons in space.

1. When asked take us to your leader.

Then ensuing alien laughter could be fatal.

2. Some things never change...

"Join the Army; travel to exotic, distant lands; meet exciting, unusual people and kill them.."

Haven't these guys ever watched the movie "Battleship"..???

3. Uh huh. In the warehouse next door, are a buncha Terminator mockups, which is good

Because just down the street is the super-secret tech company that is busy wiring Skynet into the nuclear football...

If the DoD doesn't have enough REAL enemies to fight already down here on Planet Earth, then they damnsure have too much of our tax dollars to throw around, if they're wasting it on nonsense like this
