The root cause, well other than capitalism, neoliberalism and all that, is having the Air Force be an independent arm of the military.

A brief search suggests the program that went directly from resident of the Philippines to US citizen was ended awhile back, but it had already created a strong tradition of Filipinos in the Navy, and if you're already a resident alien in the US you can accelerate the citizenship process through service. So I guess Philippines -> immigrate to the US -> US Navy -> US citizen is the pipeline now

“Since becoming an independent service on 20 December 2019, guardians have borrowed the Air Force's uniforms as prior to the establishment of the Space Force. However, two of its first unique uniforms are currently going through a testing period, with the service uniform planned to be released in 2025.”

What consultant or focus group proposed “Guardians”, or that they need their own uniform? lol

Christ on the Cross! This was the service dress proposed!



Is Star Trek II that big a recruiting draw?

Even the PT gear :psyduck:



Just give them star trek cosplay jumpsuits. That's what they probably want.

edit - it occurs to me that "guardians" was probably a Destiny video game reference. Eyes up guardian! Fallen are approaching.

Nothing screams "dying empire" more than an ancient emperor who has clearly lost his ability to govern also losing his ability to keep his pets from mauling his own guards

e: i mean this is a little on the nose isnt it

quote:

“They’ve been heartbroken over this. They’ve apologized to those who have been bitten, taken flowers to some. They feel awful. Commander was over-protective, and even though they tried and tried to work on it, they had to let him go live with other members of their family,” the source said.

They’ve apologized to those who have been bitten, taken flowers to some.

OK so it's 24 documented incidents, how many people did Commander actually attack? How many people does your dog need to bite before your press secretary isn't sure if you've sent them all flowers? A hundred? More?

Do you think there might be any correlation between economic despair and rising gambling addiction? Asking for my dying empire.

One of the only people who claimed to demonstrate brain scan evidence of Havana syndrome did so using a prototype machine he built and sold. He had previously been caught pushing unnecessary prescriptions to the military to medications from companies he was invested in.

the guardians all have moderate brain damage in that game due to unexpected side effects of their wunderwaffe which seems appropriate for space force too

everybody talked about how the tribes opening casinos would let us win back economic independence and develop self-sufficiency and even take money from the whites and get it circulating in our own economies but what actually happened is that it turned all of us into gambling addicts and we now take the money we earned at our casino jobs and go gamble it away at the casino

both of my grandparents are gambling addicts now and they justify blowing their social security checks on the slots as contributing to the tribe's economy

Shortly after Space Force was rolled out, Steve Carrell put out a sitcom parodying the organization as a bureaucratic mess with no discernable purpose or mission.

My wife was one season into the show before she learned that the space force was real and not just a metaphor.
