Space Force Uniforms

 
The United States Space Force has unveiled its new uniforms. This surprised me because I had already seen Gen. Raymond wearing the officers' service dress at the launch of the force in 2019. It was based on the same suit as the US Air Force. The reason for this is obviously cost. The working utilities of the "guardians" are coloured DPM camouflage and a lot of people wondered why? This is what only land forces usually wear... unless the Space Force is about to invade Endor. The answer is because it's cheaper simply to run off more of the same tailor's line and stick different badges on it. However the new uniform is a fundamental change. Its top is a tunic with six buttons and an open collar. I suspect this rig is only for officers below flag rank because in the source photo we see Gen. Raymond wearing the original suit dress standing next to two junior officers in the new one. The guardian modelling the uniform is Lt. Col. Alison Gonzalez, the USSF's deputy chief of strategy, and it gives her a distinctly science fiction look. It has been compared to the uniforms in Battlestar Gallactica and the Star Trek movie series. To me they best resemble the costumes of David Lynch's Dune adaptation. The uniforms have been cut specifically for the female wearer instead of male; (I can only hope the Star Trek TOS miniskirts and black tights come into fashion!) and the men's version is adapted from that. The new design is not final and will be trialled and probably adapted. There will also be a "mess dress" variant for formal social occasions.

There's no doubt that all the imagery of the Space Force is intended to remind people of sci-fi. The emblem of the USSF is an arrowhead motif, like the Star Fleet one in Star Trek. Considering the politicization of science fiction over the last few generations this should concern us. If "the last card" is played and fake alien spacecraft start dropping bombs on our cities, the deep cultural and psychological themes the population have been fed with through the media will become active and the guardians will play the role of saviours in that mental framework against the threat that justifies totalitarian world government. Around the same time the new USSF uniforms appeared, a news story emerged in which Dr Seth Shostak, of all people, commented on the potential danger posed by hostile extraterrestrials. Source: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/alien-invasion-ever-comes-well-24743872. Seth Shostak is actually a major propagandist against UFOlogy. Here he is taking part in a typical BBC hit piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rmaD8sG-Kk&t=2659s. (I was asked to take part in this series myself... I declined.) So when this so-called "alien hunter" warns us about Swindon getting blown up, it seems out of character and may have a deeper meaning. Is this just selective editing or does Shostak know more than he has so far admitted?
