As I mentioned earlier, its precursor was US Space Command, which was in existence before Trump was a twinkle in his mother's eye...
...well, at least before he became President.

Re: US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms

Trump wanted his space warriors to wear invisible suits so that the enemy couldn't see them coming. When he found out that that was not an option, he threw a tantrum and said, "Well then let them just wear Army uniforms."

Re: US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms

What the world should be mocking is Trump, the draft dodger, openly wanting to weaponize space.

Re: US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms

US Space Force logo looks like one from Star Trek



https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51245262

The newly unveiled logo for US President Donald Trump's Space Force appears to have boldly gone where Star Trek went before.

Twitter users noted that the emblem, revealed by the president, bears an uncanny likeness to the insignia from the cult sci-fi TV series.

But others online insisted the logo was really based on the US Air Force one.

Unveiling the insignia on Friday, Mr Trump tweeted: "After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military!"
It's not really a close copy but, along with camouflage uniforms, the result is hilarious …..
