I dont have time to think so I base all of my political beliefs on headlines, sound bites, and social media.

Tbf, why would you need training in zero gravity if you are not expecting combat in zero gravity? Expecting combat in space is close to the weaponization of it

To be fair, only like, 10% of the article is relevant to STARCOM’s OW range… if that.

When it comes to the military, it's always for weapons in some way. This seems to be about training to do satellite maneuvers, and it mentions GPS, but this maneuver training would be the exact same for a GPS satellite as an Orbital Bombardment satellite

I am disappointed now and won't read the article out of spite.

When are we getting MAC ODPs? When?

It's not for weapons for now. Guess what you can do if you control satellites in space: you can practice controlling them, practice running into other ones. It's weapon-adjacent.
