“I HATE manure!”

I know, wrong movie, but just as good as “service equals citizenship”.

LOL at the Starship Troopers meme.

Of course, Space Force is not really about blowing up bugs on other planets. It’s about defending US satellites, US space launches, and potentially knocking Chinese and Russian and other countries’ weapons in space out of orbit on a path to the sun, or capturing them in a shuttle and bringing them back to earth for analysis by US military.

I’m not sure if we have weaponized space lasers like Star Wars yet. Maybe we have. Would be cool to watch some Communist Chinese satellites blow up.

lol Every time I hear “Space Force”, I can’t help thinking of this: “Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...”

Me, too!

I was in the very FIRST Co-Ed Basic Training Platoon at Fort Jackson, SC in 1978.

It was a lot of hard work dragging those boys along with us! ;)

I miss Army Life every day. Except for all the running, and maybe your 4am wake up call being your DI banging on a metal trash can...

Ultimate high ground. We need to OWN it.

Like the post WWII mentality “We need to make the Pacific an American LAKE.”

If their training is true to their mission, they'll train with diapers and catheters.

(I know, I know, they'll be playing video games as scope dopes).
