Title: Join the Space Force!
Post by: Ben on August 09, 2018, 05:32:25 PM
No thanks, not with these crappy logos.

Apparently actually sent out by Trump's staff for citizens to vote on. He needs to dust off the "You're fired!" line from the apprentice.

Wait.  Trump is serious about this?  The Space Force wasn't just a joke?

Hopefully the military industrial complex will get sidetracked building new space travel equipment and the government won’t need to keep them in business by starting wars anymore.

If this is Trump's 6D tetris D&D plan,  I'm all about it.

Japan is already building a flying space battleship . . . because it did so well as a floating battleship.

The streamlining is well-designed to slip through all that dark matter out there.

Oh well.  If I could put up with sparks falling down and smoke going up in the old Buck Rogers movie rocket ships as a kid, I guess I can go along with that.

At publishing time, Trump had proposed a “Sky Force,” a “Ground Force,” a “Coast Force,” and a “Sea Force But Kinda Also Ground Force” to complement the activities of the Sea and Space Forces.

I like that.  We could call it the Waterborne Corps.

Not to mention seeing the wires that held up Prof. Zarkov's rocket ship . . . which wires of course reappeared in the TV series Space:1999.

I can't help but think this is another of Trump's distractions. Get supporters & especially detractors fully engrossed in some nonsensical thing he's said. Meanwhile he's getting the job of government done.

An interesting insight.  He's starting to look like a master of strategy and tactics... kind of a Patton of the Presidency.

This is something I've railed about for years -- that the Left has full-time paid strategists working on destroying this country's principles, while "we" just want to sit on the back porch shooting at tin cans on the fenceposts.

Years ago I even wrote to the NRA asking how come it was that we had all kinds of high-level military personnel in our ranks and Board of Directors yet never developed a strong set of proactive strategies to counter all the left wing maneuvering.  Huh?  How come?

Cue sound of crickets in the night.

So now the NRA is in a "direct FTF" conflict with the forces of the Left and is kind of in retreat... or at least taking cover.

Some dot-orgs, like the SAF, have taken a more aggressive stance, and I thank Gottlieb for his efforts, but I don't see the NRA as being pro-active in meeting the threats that the Left has actively planned out and generated for decades.

Whereas perhaps President Trump has.

Cue sound of crickets in the night.

I would find about 1 in 50 that I shot outside.  Shooting them inside was 50:50.  They were worse than socks in a dryer.  I'll bet this is what Imperial Stormtroopers are given weapons training with.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using one as a target nor as ammo. I don't think they are what you think they are.


Suprizingly available if anyone's interested.
