I've worn several dress uniforms both enlisted and officer.

That is the single worst uniform I have ever seen.

I feel sorry for the people who had to model those monstrosities. They seem embarrassed. The whole thing is a fucking joke. They need to disband this bullshit, and return it all to what it was in the first place.

Frankly, I do too, because I hate that a deranged jerk like tRump will go down in history for establishing this thing, and for those stupid looking uniforms. But space is real, nations are weaponizing and staking out territory there, and a great deal was already invested that would have to be undone and duplicated; ergo...

Besides, I question Pocan's understanding of the vast scope of duties of the government he's now part of. We not only can but should fight both poverty and alien invasions; we should monitor the sun and track space debris, and keep Russia from destroying our satelliite grid. Btw, if we fail in that latter, it's been nice talking to you all.

go for it, especially if they read about the tradeoffs, what wouldn't be funded, to undo and redo everything, including paying damages to people who were hurt.

She said Space Force was in the works for quite awhile prior to Trump.

She hates Trump with a passion.

General George S. Patton may have been a superb soldier, but he was just as delusional and narcissistic as Trump.



As a former tanker, I'm so glad I never had to wear this awful uniform.

I went to my local Army & Navy surplus store recently, but they didn't have anything Space Force related. Not even a patch.

Trump already started this and all the contracts and payments made. Not to mention the change in hierarchy.

Once all the supply of uniforms wear out we can quietly have a redesign and one day quietly rename the branch.

But near-space is being weaponized and not just by Russia. And we could start to see moon bases in 30-50 years. Plus the need to track asteroids and comments heading our way is fairly important as well.
