The space branch of the US military has been the butt of mockery since it released its new official anthem. We let you judge for yourself.
No, this is not a song from the Space Force series. The “real” Space Force, the branch of the American army responsible for space, published its official anthem on September 20.
Sections of the United States Army are indeed entitled to their own song or anthem. The US Air Force has its own, as does the Army. The Space Force can now show off with ” Semper Supra », his anthem, which bears the same name as the motto of the regiment. We let you enjoy.
Subtlety
If you’re wondering, Semper Supra is Latin for “ always above “. The rest of the lyrics are just as subtle.
” We’re the mighty watchful eye / Guardians beyond the blue / The invisible front line / Warfighters brave and true. Boldly reaching into space / there’s no limit to our sky / Standing guard both night and day / We’re the Space Force from on high », which gives in French:
“ We are the mighty watchful eye / The guardians beyond the sky / The invisible frontline / The brave and faithful fighters. We bravely go into space / Our skies have no limit / We stand guard day and night / We are the Space Force from above “.
Since revealing the song, Space Force has, unsurprisingly, been the target of a lot of teasing, especially in the comments below the YouTube video. Internet users mock an old-fashioned music that looks like it came out of the last century, clichéd lyrics that look like a parody, and an initiative that makes people generally uncomfortable.
Before the song was released, the Space Force had already been mocked, especially because of its emblem, which looks very similar to that of Starfleet in star trek. But apart from these mockeries, we must not forget that the Space Force has a clear goal: the militarization of space. And that is not something to be taken lightly.
