Maybe you should look into what Air Force 2025 really was instead of blindly believing it. It's a theoretical paper and even says that it's fictional.
2025 is a study designed to comply with a directive from the chief of staff of the Air Force to examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future. Presented on 17 June 1996, this report was produced in the Department of Defense school environment of academic freedom and in the interest of advancing concepts related to national defense. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the United States government.
This report contains fictional representations of future situations/scenarios. Any similarities to real people or events, other than those specifically cited, are unintentional and are for purposes of illustration only.

yes it contains some for illustrating concepts. just like your high school text book contains fictional stories about how many apples johnny has and how many oranges jill had...

You really should read the disclaimer...

Sorry it has nothing to do with actually owning the weather.

Chapter 10 - Applying Weather-modification to Military Operations
How will the military, in general, and the USAF, in particular, manage and employ a weather- modification capability?
We envision this will be done by the weather force support element (WFSE), whose primary mission would be to support the war-fighting CINCs with weather-modification options, in addition to current forecasting support.
Although the WFSE could operate anywhere as long as it has access to the GWN and the system components already discussed, it will more than likely be a component within the AOC or its 2025-equivalent. With the CINC’s intent as guidance, the WFSE formulates weather- modification options using information provided by the GWN, local weather data network, and weather- modification forecast model. The options include range of effect, probab ility of su ccess, resources to be expended, the enemy’s vulnerability, and risks involved. The CINC chooses an effect based on these inputs, and the WFSE then implements the chosen course, selecting the right modification tools and employing them to achieve the desired effect. Sensors detect the change and feed data on the new weather pattern to the modeling system which updates its forecast accordingly. The WFSE checks the effectiveness of its efforts by pulling down the updated current conditions and new forecast(s) from the GWN and local weather data network, and plans follow-on missions as needed. This concept is illustrated in figure 3-2

Where does it say it contains some fictional representations?
It doesn't actually.
i don't know what you're talking about.
i think you're trying to argue for the sake of arguing, and haven't looked at the other side clearly.

wow.
ok so you guys don't read the pdf and ... belligerently argue and stonewall.. you win.
classic ATS style.

I'm naturally suspicious by nature, so when I'm on the hunt for info on the web and I see something on Wikipedia that's been removed (red letters) for some reason, it causes me to look deeper into what has been removed. So when I was reading about Strontium here, en.wikipedia.org... and got down near the bottom of the page I noticed that there was the red lettered link for "strontium barium niobate" which if clicked on will tell you that the page does not exist.
Alarm bells go off telling me that something is being hidden from me. Perhaps that page had said something linking holograms with a screen created from clouds. Do you see now where I'm going? I'm not done yet. I saved the best for last. I have the research paper on a Adobe pdf file that I would prefer to somehow link to. I don't know exactly how to do it. If that fails I have a slow loading version on Scribd of the identical research paper.
