Mighty impressive climb there; from second lieutenant in 1968 to
four-star general in 2002, especially given that he never attended the

'The Air Force believes "we must establish and maintain space
superiority," Gen. Lance Lord, who leads the Air Force Space Command,
told Congress recently. "Simply put, it's the American way of fighting."
Air Force doctrine defines space superiority as "freedom to attack as
