Quoting USMC General Smith's words:
“The advantage lies with us, because our last combat was captured on somebody’s iPhone14. The Chinese last combat was captured on oil and canvas, and they should not forget that.”

Someone's eager to cosplay the Korean War-version of General MacArthur for the 21st-century lol.

Interesting article about a follow up to the US military's Proliferated Low Earth Orbit architecture. Bruno has worked in highly classified missile and space programs for decades so is somewhat representative of US posture and thinking
Some takeaways:
- the US thinks a Proliferated architecture of 'Starshield' satellites alone is not impervious to a surprise attack by China
- need a mix of a large number of cheap sats LEO, a few more expensive sats in harder to reach orbits all working together
- need a sort of "WW2 Destroyer" type armed and mobile satellite to protect the harder to reach sats (in a way that doesn't generate bunch of debris)

Turns out ULA has been actively working on this 'space destroyer' concept which is aimed at guarding satellites and if necessary attack enemy satellites
