Donald Trump revealed a potential uniform for the US Space Force that has people comparing the service's new look to classic science fiction movies.
The newest wing of the American military has been mocked in the past for the futuristic nature of their uniforms.
However, many were taken aback when Trump posted a new 'Service Dress Uniform' for the force titled 'Next Generation' which directly references the 1997 film Starship Troopers.
The design is inspired, according to the photo description, 'by the discipline and functionality of the starship trooper uniform modernized for the guardians of the space domain.'
The color palette used for the uniforms includes 'space gray,' 'midnight black,' 'silver gray' and 'satin black.'
Trump gave no explanation for the new uniforms.
Many were confused by the post and the concept behind the uniforms, comparing them to the villains of various space films.
'I see we’re going for the galactic empire look,' wrote one, referencing the imperial officers' uniforms in the Star Wars films.

The Alliance troops in Firefly are literally wearing the uniforms from Starship Troopers.
I think the uniform looks pretty cool, even if Trump is trolling.
“They have a very Nazi vibe. Bad choice.”
Yep... I agree. Straight up Nazi SS uniform...
The look more like Space Balls.
Hate it...
Reeks of dystopian intent...IMHO...
Sadly, most democrats have difficulty distinguishing reality from fiction.
The press is now nothing but a never ending idiot parade.
At least it isn’t camouflage.
Which begs the question, has RealTree made space camouflage ... yet??
Off balance?
You really want your President keeping everyone “off balance?”
If he were posting this stuff in a “look at this stuff” tone that might be funny. But he just throws stuff out there, without any comment. That isn’t working for him.
Anyway, I am still waiting for his attacks on Iran that would be bigger than WWII.
He is tiresome.
Silly. Doesn’t he have better and more important things to do?
This isn’t satire?
Has nobody seen the movie, Starship Troopers...
The president knows very well what’s he’s doing.
Apparently so.
Same here.
Starship Troopers were the good guys.
More people have read Heinlein’s novel than have seen the movie.
Poor baby. Have some kool-aid and cookies.
Heinlein’s novel was much better than the movie.
“Trolling is a weapon that Trump is using to keep the mainstream media and the Left off-balance.”
Yes, it’s hilarious!
He starts the day with a troll and the islamocommies have ditch their talking points for the day to respond to the Trump troll.
Well... two.
