[Tallguy]

A brand-spanking new service branch and it’s already top-heavy with Brass. A Lt. General as deputy commander? Already? How many whatevers are there to salute his flag when his staff car trundles by?

Three proposals:

• Spaceman (Yes, for women, too. Analogous to “airman”)

• Terran or Earthman (Yes, we are all Terrans and Earthmen. Just as there are all kinds of sailors—including Navy sailors.)

• Watchman (Standing ceaseless watch over the US and/or globe)

Heinlein had a book entitled Starman Jones. I like it: Starman.

I know that these are not the lyrics but every time I hear that stupid song what I hear is “burning like my skis are VE-RY long.”

I suppose there isn’t much point to complaining about the diction of vocalists. The adherents of todays cookie monster metal don’t seem to realize that the vocalist is even attempting to use words.

Martians Beware!

[centurion316]

Good catch. The Joes will figure it out and their decision will stick.

[BigEdLB]

Were off to Zeta Reticuli!

Planet Patrol

[Brilliant]

Blastronauts.

[gnarledmaw]

Youre way behind. For the most part we just cant afford a wing of fighters yet. It starts out with keyboards but doesn’t stay that way for long.

[Whatever Works]

Angels and demons

Archangels

Overlords
