Rumor has it that the motto for this new Space Force will be…

“May the force be with you…”

[Camp]

But its for the satellites…

@WuWei

So what. What will happen? Will we all be speaking Chinese?

Really? You don’t think it’s in the United States’ best interests to have the strongest military in the world?

No, I don’t.

@CanadianJudo

from what alien bugs?

He who controls the universe…controls the universe.

@hindsight

The problem with this logic is… creating an entirely new branch of the military… does not save money.

I didn’t say there wasn’t room to expand but…all in due time…my pretty.

[Smyrna]

@WuWei

I couldn’t disagree more.

That may be but…you’re thinking too conventionally IMO.

[Smyrna]

@hindsight

So much TDS.

I don’t know what it is but…it’s a good buzz. It sure beats the yelling at the sky kind of TDS.

[Smyrna]

@Oryx

I disagree. It’s every bit as important as the formation of the Air Force was. China is already ahead of us in space. Let them (and Russia) have it and our military will be at an incredible disadvantage in the future

I 110% agree. This direction is paramount to future security.

well that’s a first for me.

Given how much debt we are incurring while failing to provide current day services, what does it matter how far we look into the future?

I’m reminded of Gil Scott-Heron.

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey’s on the moon)

I can’t pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still.
(while Whitey’s on the moon)

The man jus’ upped my rent las’ night.
('cause Whitey’s on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)

I wonder why he’s uppi’ me?
(‘cause Whitey’s on the moon?)
I was already payin’ ‘im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin’ my whole damn check,
Junkies makin’ me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin’ up,
An’ as if all that ■■■■ wasn’t enough

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an’ arm began to swell.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)

Was all that money I made las’ year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain’t no money here?
(Hm! Whitey’s on the moon)
Y’know I jus’ ‘bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I’ll sen’ these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)

@ hwyflier Another Gil Scott Heron fan. I always liked “B Movie”

[wiley8425]

Illegal aliens of course.

[westaussie]

Perhaps the colour for the uniform should have been tangerine.

[WildRose]

That’s just made up BS. They are branching off primarily from the AF so they going to wear USAF uniforms for the time being with “Space Force” tags.

The USAF wore army uniforms with USAF tags for a decade after they split off too.

[westaussie]

Wouldn’t that require a royalty payment every time it was said?

[wonderingrover]

Hmm - yeah, good point.

[SixFoot]

Libs are complaining about multicam patterns as if the Space Force should be dressing in black with white sparkles.

@SixFoot

Libs are complaining about multicam patterns as if the Space Force should be dressing in black with white sparkles.

What I choose to wear in my own home is my choice, sir.

Hrrrrumph.

[westaussie]

I still recommend tangerine as the colour.

[SixFoot]

Damn right, and I encourage you to sparkle as brightly as you can!

Now as far as the Space Force goes, it doesn’t take a veteran to realize they’re all operating down here on Mother Earf. I’d prefer they be dressed in OCP (formerly called BDU when the patterns were the atrocious digital pattern).

Out in Space, I think I’d prefer they simply wear space suits?
