Dude, there are already two military & NASA organizations monitoring the space junk catastrophe. Blowing up satellites could easily make human space flight completely impossible.
Feel free to click my links or not.
http://stuffin.space/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Surveillance_NetworkIt's not some "classified" crackpot theory, it's just that we're all free to use the internet for learning yet here I am writing the citations for everyone.

My office processes GPS data & satellite images every day. We are every bit as concerned about this as any famous cosmologist.
I'm trying to nail down what you are saying, you claimed to debunk me, yet I haven't made any claims other than we need a space force, and we do. I'm well aware of orbital debris, I'm well aware of NASA satellites, I'm also aware that China is putting satellites into to orbit without proper notification, one of the reasons it is claimed we need a space force, to stay up to par with other countries so they don't have an advantage over us, the norm of military. I'm also aware that they are seeking resolutions to remove some of the debris in orbit. This isn't the first time I've heard of the debris issue, they have been talking about it for over ten years that I know of. I'm kinda a space junkie, I love learning about space. the Idea of the space force is to 'specialize' in orbital surveillance and defense technology, NASA is not a military defense organization, the army specializes in ground defense, the air force specializes in air defense, the space force will be specialized in space defense, I'm pretty sure everyone is up to par on space debris, this isn't even Trumps original idea, as how things usually are, it's been on the back burner for quite some time, so I'm sure all these people involved would be aware of orbital debris. The military already has satellites in orbit, it's simply a way to separate something which
already exists into to its own specialized force.
I didn't say that space debris is a conspiracy, I'm trying to figure out what you are
debunking. You claimed I don't know the facts, are you saying...
we can't put anymore satellites in space? Then how exactly is China doing it?
Like I said, I'm pretty sure they would include the well known calculations of orbital debris, it's not a new finding. All they are doing is renaming the portion of the military that already specializes in orbital technology and dividing the budget, separating that department from the air force. I don't think their goal is to launch 1000 more satellites, that want to simply monitor what other countries are doing, mainly China as they are doing some suspicious things like not notifying the proper people when they are launching satellites. I've heard they are well aware that space weaponry is not too practical because they are orbital satellites, they don't fly around to a location to strike.
Edit: A space force is inevitable as technology evolves.
