"Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn mocked Vice President Mike Pence after he unveiled that the name for members of the Space Force is similar to his movie franchise. On Friday, Pence revealed that troops in the sixth branch of the military will be known as "guardians." "It is my honor, on behalf of the president of the United States, to announce that henceforth the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as guardians," he said at the White House.
