Speaking of banal recruiting slogans cum morale builders, has it already been mentioned that the memebers of the Space Force are to be officially known as "guardians?" :bleeding:

After getting the Guardians of the Galaxy jokes out of the way, I've softened on it.  What else are you going to call them (other than Spacemen)?

Apparently it goes back to the original motto of the Air Force Space command, "Guardians of the High Frontier" from the 1960s.

Whether the Space Force itself was a good idea is a different matter.
Well also guardians is gender neutral. But it is a dreadful name :lol:

More like a slogan concocted by comic book writers and Hollywood, for a wiseass racoon with a murderous streak and a monosyllabic tree creature.

So far still using USAF uniforms, but the internet has come up with some horrific mock-ups...

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
