U.S. push for space weaponisation must be challenged Independent Australia 08 May 2021, 18:52 GMT+10 While most of the world supports outlawing space weaponry, the U.S. Government is still pushing to militarise space, writes Karl Grossman. RETIRED U.S. Army Colonel John Fairlamb stated in a piece in The Hill, the Washington, DC news website: Fairlamb knows the issue with the weaponisation of space. His background includes being an International Affairs Specialist for the Army Space and Missile Defense Command and Military Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs. He is familiar with war first-hand: he was a company commander in Vietnam and holds a doctorate in Comparative Defense Policy Analysis.
