I stand by the position we should have abolished the space force years ago

Hilariously, Hugo Boss also designed the original nazi uniforms in the 1930s, and was even a member of the NSDAP himself!

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 74 points 4 days ago

inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Troopers uniform.

Fucking pack it in boys. We’re done here. Literally from real life to parody and back to real life.

~~Pretty sure this has not hit real life yet. It's likely just a meme. The title says by Hugo boss who infamously had a hand in Nazi uniforms, though it's apocryphal that they designed them.~~

Ignore me. Apparently this was tweeted by Trump. I have no words.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 18 points 4 days ago

Ignore you? Naaaah, see what you’re doing is using your brain and seeing something that should be a joke.

Goddamn look like they rob the wardrobe department of a Indiana Jones set. Swear you just might as well slap swastika on them and get it over with.

[-] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 34 points 4 days ago

It's almost directly mentioned in the text in the image, too. Inspired by starship troopers? The film which is all about a caricature of fascism? They couldn't be much more blunt without actually using the word nazi

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 35 points 4 days ago

The Onion needs to start writing stories where the Trump administration act like sane human beings, and show compassion to other people.

At this point, it would be far more bizarre than anything they've done so far.

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Looks like the Death Star officers uniforms right out of Star Wars

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

They are based on Nazi Germany uniforms for a reason...

[-] atomo@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Female version.

[-] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 23 points 4 days ago

Holy Shit, is that straight out of the Spaceballs script‽ Sure looks like what the Nazis wore in Spaceballs

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Allegedly they're inspired by Starship Troopers. As if that makes it any better.

[-] stumu415@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

Well he's surrounded by assholes so that tracks.

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

Coming to an Imperial Star Destroyer near you.

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 11 points 4 days ago

That's not a ballroom, that's a space station!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

More like the flying aircraft carriers that Hydra had. Except steam powered to appease Drumpf

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

They even ruined steampunk!

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 17 points 3 days ago

Not a chance to tell if this is satire

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Spaceballs drip is superior.

[-] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Look at all those assholes 😬😬

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

They look soooo Nazi Germany chic.

[-] Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

When have US military uniforms ever used that eagle? Obviously eagles are all over US symbols, but they deliberately picked one that looks as much like a nazi eagle as possible.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I have some bad news about US marksmanship badges.

To be fair, the iron cross predates nazis, but as with the swastika and Bellamy salute, they ruined a lot of shit.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

So i get my knowledge from wikipedia. all the us flight badges are eagle wings on either side of a shield. or in the below case, staff.

for example these are flight surgeon wings. the new space force bullshit looks like they took they grabbed a mirror universe star trek insignia and then slapped it where the shield should go.

[-] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

It looks like they’re copying the Air Force flight qual pins. It’s the same horaltic pose.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Space Nazi!

[-] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Fritz, are we the baddies?

[-] MadBits@europe.pub 13 points 4 days ago

Unbelievable cringe

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

What exactly are the boots for in space? they walking in maneure fields?

[-] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They should really use the iron sky uniforms. That's far more appropriate to their level.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Needs more sashes.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

(Based on the mistaken belief that Boss designed Nazi uniforms)

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Ahh, that's a shame. It would be funny if Hugo Boss sued the US government for blatantly ripping off their Nazi uniform designs

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

Just up to the LucasFilm lawyers then

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Disney owns all that shit and they're notoriously litigious, so there's a chance.

Heh, say notoriously litigious 5 times fast.
