Last month, President Donald Trump founded the U.S. Space Force, the first new military service in seventy years.
On Friday, they tweeted about their utility camo uniform.

Now, they’re basically using the same utility uniform as other services because then a new one doesn’t have to be created/paid for.
But this incited a boatload of wags, hyped up on TDS and loaded for bear, ready to mock the “Space Force.”
First one out of the chute was Aaron Rupar, a Vox ‘journalist.’
Trump’s Space Force troops wearing camo in space is perhaps the strongest evidence yet that Idiocracy is a documentary https://t.co/WG1Yo7fAIb

Many others also revealed their ignorance about the Space Force and/or the military.
Nice costumes. You almost look like you are not a joke. But you are. pic.twitter.com/B8DSCKs1wB

Former Obama Director of Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub, who now spends all his time bashing Trump, apparently didn’t even take a few minutes to understand what he’s talking about.
Have you been to a part of space where this camouflage would blend in?

I know this is hard to understand, but on the left there is a picture of camouflage and on the right there is a picture of space. Study these carefully until you can see the difference. pic.twitter.com/7HhAeHRyrm

Even Mr. Sulu weighed in.
Unclear on why there’s a need for camouflage…in space… https://t.co/1cHhlAPF6J

First, the “Space Force” doesn’t serve in space, they serve on the ground. What they do and why they became a separate force is protecting our assets in space, things like our satellites. One would think liberals might be more concerned about this since they claim to be concerned about hacking for foreign governments. One of the reasons for the force is to prevent foreign governments from interfering with our satellites or the data they are providing us. Both Russia and China now have “space forces” dedicated to this.
Second, the Space Force will be wearing the same utility uniform as the Army/Air Force fellows they serve with so the military doesn’t have to spend anything designing anything new. You know that thing, saving money, that isn’t so idiotic, except to liberals?
Third, Trump didn’t come up with the idea of the Space Force, it’s been debated for awhile. He just made it a reality because it was a bipartisan belief it would improve our military and our ability to protect American assets.
You can check out a good breakdown of some of the things they would do here.
That information probably takes about five minutes to find out. But hey, why not mock the U.S. military and call them idiots instead because you hate Trump?
Rupar and the TDS-ers got schooled.
USSF is utilizing current Army/Air Force uniforms, saving costs of designing/producing a new one.
Members will look like their joint counterparts they’ll be working with, on the ground.

Glad you asked @GeorgeTakei!
Our assigned members monitor and maneuver our space assets (GPS, SBIRS, AEHF, etc), track space debris and perform other duties from installations on Earth. They work closely with joint warfighters in the @usairforce and @USArmy hence similar uniforms— United States Space Force (@SpaceForceDoD) January 18, 2020

Aaron getting thousands of RTs for painfully stupid and uninformed takes is much stronger evidence that Idiocracy is a documentary. https://t.co/unWqIxfRKc
