brad1 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 It’s not supposed to be a top 40 song. Geez And why does it bother you guys so much? I couldn’t care less what song they wrote, or how it sounds. Because I’m never going to have to listen to it. 😃🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Ever wonder, "Have I lived too long?" Because my WHAT THE F#%K METER has been pegged, and indeed stays pegged, non-stop since 2009 or so. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just have no sense of humor. All the branches of the military’s song are lame, even the two from the services I was in. From Aztec Shore to Arctic Zone, To Europe and Far East. That is all so can remember from Semper Paratus. It’s catchy. I had to memorize and sing it during my Chief’s Initiation in 2004. Edited September 24, 2022 by Sgt.

I'm guessing the SF paid this 'song writer' more than any song writer in Nashville ever got. Our tax dollars. Although you may never have to hear lyrics like 'from the force on high' may not bother you, we live in a time where, as Sparquelito suggested, there is too much unreasonable B.S everywhere you turn. Yeah, not suppose to be a Top 40 song, but it would not be a Top 1000 in any genre. John Phillip Sousa would have died laughing if he weren't already dead. This song is an embarrassment and if it is suppose to generate fear or respect in our enemies, they're probably laughing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) When I first heard we (The USA) were going to have a Space Force I was certain it was BS, especially since it came during the Reign of Mr. Fake News. How many rocket ships do they have? My guess is NONE. How do you patrol space without a rocket. The USN and USCG have ships and aircraft to patrol the oceans and some rivers, and go save lives. The Air Force has aircraft too. The Army has tanks and helo's, and believe it or not boats. I worked on one as a contractor. The Corp has aircraft too. Technically the Coast Guard's ships are called Cutters. Edited September 24, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, I was, I did, and I will later tonight after work. I wonder if they have their own special nerdy salute. If we have Space Force Bases, I'll bet they have bathrooms, we called them Heads in the USN and USCG, that are labeled - Men - Women - Other - Pick Your Sex - Jenner - Non Binary - Drag King/Queen - Cat - Dog, ect. You name it, no gender abnormality is excluded from Space Force. Edited September 24, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The Special Space Force Salute, I did see Kate Upton floating around wearing a bikini. Maybe you float upside down and wave your implants at each other. I'd sign up but I'm too old and my implants would sag no matter what the gravitational pull is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief, Don't knock the radio! We have an AM station here in Toronto that is dedicated to Baby Boomers (where they are referred to as "Zoomers-Boomers with Zip".) Yes, I know its a stupid slogan, but they play mostly music from the 50's up to about the 80's, so a good deal of it is listenable. Not at all like the current $hit being pumped out on the FM rock stations. And during those periods when I need more than ear candy, we have two excellent classical FM stations that I go to. Wonderful music (except for the opera, of course.) Keeps me from having to listen to the smug, self-righteous horse's asses on AM talk radio.

SteveFord Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 We've got some good college stations around here so I still have quite a few tuners in the house. The commercial FM stations are garbage, they were all snapped up by Clear Channel so if you hate a Foreigner song on the East Coast you'll get to hate it in the Midwest and you'll get to hate it on the West Coast.

jdgm Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) The reality is that most of the U.S. space force will be sitting on Earth looking at computer screens; it's all drones and satellite imagery these days. Of course the astronauts snd some Area 51 pilots will always be the elite. Then there is this. Boeing X-37B.
