US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51160547



The US Space Force has defended its newly unveiled camouflage uniforms after they were roundly mocked on social media.

The force, officially launched by US President Donald Trump last month, posted a picture of the uniform to its Twitter account.

The uniform in the picture has a woodland camouflage design with badges embroidered on the arm and chest.

Reacting to the uniform, many critics had the same question: "Camo in space?"


What is the "Space Force"?

Space Force: Trump officially launches new US military service

21 December 2019

The new military service, the first in more than 70 years, falls under the US Air Force.

At an army base near Washington, Mr Trump described space as "the world's newest war-fighting domain".

"Amid grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital," he said.

"The Space Force will help us deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground," he added.
There's lots more "detail" .....

That is pretty silly. I would have thought something in black would have been better, perhaps with sparkly bits.

Sonnink like the Star Trek suit. Maybe with lightning strike motif. Or like the Power Ranger suit. Range of colours. All weather. When we get our Space Force here they could have little hats with corks around them. YOu know to shoo away those pesky space flies.

My boys in the RAN wear camouflage as their normal work gear, they have highly reflective stripes on the sleeves and legs which rather seems to defeat the object of camouflage.

Re: US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms

Everybody is having a good laugh about this. Unoticed the news passed that in school lunches the (free) milk and fruit provisions were cut by trump. To spite michelle obama who introduced this because lots of kid's parents cannot provide fresh fruit every day. This news on space rangers nicely covered it up.

That's because this is the "Science and Environment" sub-forum .....
