Imagine telling someone you're a member of the US Space Force. Like every other branch of the US military at least has some sort of, like, cool propaganda you can point to. Look, cool airplanes, look cool car, look how good we are at guns. If you're in the Space Force surely you just get laughed out of the room even by libs? Like surely you gotta hide that shit

They almost copied this uniform from the Honorverse, how they could even be this cringe and not combust like their shuttles?

EDIT: It's actually much worse, RMN from Honorverse at least wear normal looking berets, but look at this fucking cap here

That hat is atrocious.

Hells yeah we're the Empire baby! tacticool

lathe-of-heaven

The space force will have a floating moon like commands that will not only patroll other nations space buisness, but shoot nukes / Rods from God at any city not in the good graces of the Empire.

Goes to the local troop bar

Gets asked what branch they're in

They reply "US SF"

Look of surprise at the bar "Oh! You don't look like the Delta Force type"

They respond "Oh... oh no. United States Space Force, not Special Forces. But hey, what's more special that space, huh?"

They're laughed out of the bar

Looks like the Coast Guard no longer has to worry about being the punching bag

[-] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Literally the most useful part of the military. At least they help people on occasion.

You could say that about any branch of the military. Army's got a corps of engineers for disaster relief when theyre not trying catch airtime with their equipment, navy and coast guard can do rescue at sea or whatever puddle pirates do, marines can stay on navy boats, keep to themselves, and not interact with any local population, and the chairforce has PJs to rescue rich dipshits off of mountains.

They're the equivalent of the Soviet Air Defence/Missile force and having your hand on the doomsday key is cool, but no they have to lean into being fucking nerds.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure the Air Force already does that. They just took an existing department within an existing branch and advertise it as a new branch when it's just a subsidiary lol

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Soviets/Russians have integrated/disintegrated it with the air force several times because like you said it's a bit lame sounding, but there is something to grouping Space, Strategic Missile Strike/Defense, and your HAAD/ASAT assets together.
