You're claiming that the US has space-based WMD? Where are these
offensive weapons platforms hiding? When have they been used?

The shuttle program, from the very beginning, has been a willful
participant in this militarization of space.

(On the other hand, the Air Force had to be coerced into the partnership,
and quickly distanced itself when it could.)
Only after delivering a bunch of "drive by" requirements that have had
far-reaching repercussions.
