Moving Space Command from Colorado to Alabama isnt about military readiness -- its about punishing Colorado. Trump said so on national television.
Colorado already has a fully operational command, where military experts are defending the U.S. against threats in space every day. Huntsville has an empty lot.
Rebuilding this infrastructure from scratch will waste billions in taxpayer dollars, dissolve an expert workforce, and above all: threaten our national security. The president would rather act like China and Russia are our friends.
Ill be fighting for Space Command to stay in Colorado, where it belongs.
