The video is exaggerated as fuck, but the military is does have some sort of space station plan (pic related).
>Sierra Nevada Corporation...was awarded a contract to repurpose SNC’s Shooting Star transport vehicle as a proposed commercial solution for an Unmanned Orbital Outpost – essentially a scalable, autonomous space station for experiments and logistics demonstrations – by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).
>SNC’s Shooting Star transport vehicle serves as the core structure for the proposed design.
>The proposed orbital outpost will be initially established in LEO with guidance, navigation and control for sustained free-flight operations to host payloads and support space assembly, microgravity, experimentation, logistics, manufacturing, training, test and evaluation.
>Future outposts may be based in a variety of orbits including, medium-Earth orbit, highly elliptical orbit, geosynchronous Earth orbits (GEO) to include GEO transfer orbits, and cislunar orbits.

So there's your military space station, at least until they switch to something via Starship. Fun fact: military space stations aren't banned by the Outer Space Treaty either, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them floating around in the coming decades.
