Anytime someone wanted to unite the space commands under one military branch, the other two threw hissy fits. It's a turf war/penis-wagging/interbranch rivalry thing peculiar to the military. They're kinda used to a bit of shakeup, but they *never* like to a lose a guaranteed cash register like a space program to those "other guys."

That's why I'm okay with all three getting a lesson about, "If I can't have it, nobody will."

Okay, fine. Now none of you have it, just like you wanted.

Serves them right.

As for where it belongs, NORAD is probably the best choice, given the interbranch mission they already enjoy.

It wasn't really new, it was just merging tons of Commands into one Force. sir pball Jul 2023 #25

I don't dispute the benefits of a merger. BMW2020RT Jul 2023 #26

It reduced complexity, all the Space forces are now under one command. sir pball Jul 2023 #27
