WTF !

Space Force Dress Uniforms prototypes - worse than the parody versions doing the rounds when Space Force was announced.

The first US military uniform "initially devised for women before adjusting for men’s comfort as well" - yet the pants (trousers to people in the UK) the female is wearing are attrociously tailored !

Yep, almost the same, except the Battlestar ones appear a better fit and have a pocket which is a plus, also Star Trek had a similar design.

I must say, those uniforms are consistent with most of what's come from our military leaders this year...

Were the US expecting Space Force to be mainly women? Why would you specifically design a uniform for a single gender and then adapt it?! Especially in this day and age.

Why not design a male uniform and a female uniform that look the same but are designed for a specific gender?!

Either I’m missing something or someone is just trying to look overly PC and has ended up looking stupid.

Isn't she wearing men's pants (sorry, "trousers"), though? Hence the terrible fit?
