[i]"If you're saying the word 'separate' and 'space' in the same sentence, I would offer you're moving us in the wrong direction," Goldfein said. "Every mission that we perform in the United States military is dependent on space. Now's not the time to build seems and segregate and separate, now's the time to further integrate." Wilson agreed, arguing that at a time of sequestration and budget cuts, a reorganization is going to do more harm than good. "The Pentagon is complicated enough," she said. "We're trying to simplify. This will make it more complex, add more boxes to the organization chart, and cost more money… I don't need another chief of staff and another six deputy chiefs of staff. We need to simplify, not make it more complicated."[/i]
[i]"When I see arguments that we are actually going to set back efforts to respond to adversary space threats, well, as we say in Alabama, I'm pissed," Rogers said. "We're not easily provoked. But, since we've rolled out our mark with these reforms to the national security space enterprise, I have to say I've been shocked by the response by the Air Force leadership. Did they miss where the Chinese and the Russians have already reorganized their space operations? The Chinese literally have a space force today." "The Air Force leadership would have us trust them again to get it right. They just need a few more years to rearrange the deck chairs," Rogers said. "This is the same Air Force that got us into the situation where the Russians and the Chinese are near-peers to us in space. We will not allow the status quo to continue."[/i]
