US Space Force Uniform

What fopaux? They’re the same as the Air Force Uniforms.

Also, no one with stripes would have the power to change or create new uniforms :wink:

My major beef with it is that the US already spends more on our military than the next 6 countries combined. I totally agree with Dave when he said “It’s just another slush fund for weapons contractors.”

After our dedicated $700 billion “defense” budget, plus the additional fungible dollars that end up in the hands of the military industrial complex, our nation is spending nearly $1 trillion a year on war. That’s about $3100 a year for every man, woman, and child in the US. You and I get very little for that, and history is revealing itself to show that it’s actually making us less safe by creating more terrorists. What else could we be doing with that money?

Guys, some scriptures… Didn’t we celebrate Christmas just a while ago?? If you are part of this government, you need not worry about any of these. We have the commander-in-chief of the mightiest army with us, the Lord of hosts.

Isaiah 9:6,7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Because you need to understand this. As per I Samuel 2:9.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

So worldly governments need to do the below or else they will get rebuke!
Isaiah 2:4,
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Oh your points have merit Mark and your argument can be applied to the military in general. But, this is not a new thing. The money is already being spent. It’s not new money for a totally new military branch that has had no history. This branch and its functions has existed for decades. The assets already exist, the personnel already exist, the technology already exists. It’s just a new designation; they have their own identity now. They’re not even getting new uniforms, patches changed, that’s all.

So, I don’t think it’s a new slush fund, it’s just the same old slush fund.

I think the first thing people envisioned when they heard we’re gonna have a Space Force, was armies of soldiers flying through space and battling it out on the surface of the moon and stuff; I know I did.

Last night I had the strangest dream by Simon and Garfunkel… I used to sing this to put my daughter to sleep.

Lyrics has this… guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on the ground…

Endor.

Hi @MissMaggie The Royal Air Force, Army & Royal Navy already carries out that role and has done so since the Cuban Missile Crisis. As far as I am aware we have no plans over here for a dedicated military space unit.

I can’t ever see the US Space Force being deployed in the field. i.e. in an enemy war zone, They will be housed in a concrete bunker in some remote part of the USA, So no need for camo uniforms. If deployed into space they would wear tee shirt & shorts when not in pressurised suits.

I heard somewhere that funds from the Defense Budget were used to build part of The Wall.

Wait, what? There’s a misspelling? How did I miss that? OK Gunnar, I honestly can’t find it. Please tell me where it is.

My point was that military personnel with stripes are enlisted. Those decisions would be made by officers, most likely generals. So … “someone in the Pentagon is about to lose their stars…” would get the point across.

I may be having a bad couple of days because I must admit, I still don’t know where the faux pas is.

Call me Olde School™ but I say “Why reinvent the wheel?” If these uniforms were good enough to fight the First Bug Wars, I don’t see why they won’t do the job the next time…
