   So there are some who don’t appreciate the DingleBerry Express?

   I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

   I propose that Trump simply take the next step in support of the Space Force (the naysayers might call it “Starfleet,” like they tried to smear Reagan’s missile-defense ideas as “Star Wars”) by offering honorary commissions of the rank of Captain (O-6, like the Navy does) to American actors who have previously played spacecraft captains on TV or in the movies. Like some states offer the honorary rank of “Colonel” to distinguished citizens.

   A partial list follows:

   Harrison Ford
   Nathan Fillion
   William Shatner
   Avery Brooks
   Kate Mulgrew
   Scott Bakula
   Kevin Sorbo
   Bruce Greenwood
   Chris Pine
   Bruce Boxleitner
   Gary Cole
   Mitch Pileggi
   Anson Mount
   Michael Cavanaugh
   Edward James Olmos
