President Trump has decided to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” and liberals are reacting with anger that BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes would be better suited for the influx of illegal immigrants let in under the Biden administration.“We are adding a new stage to TDS when it comes to the libs because ... you think that they have stage five terminal cases of Trump derangement syndrome, and then they just take it to a whole new level,” Gonzales says, noting that there should be a “new stage six.”At this “stage six,” she explains that the controversy “breaking the brains of libs and sending them into full-blown meltdown mode is not illegal criminals committing crimes in our country.”“It’s actually, of course, something way less serious, something way less important, which is President Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America,” she says.In retaliation, liberals have started a boycott of any company that is going along with Trump’s proclamation, like Apple and Google Maps, who have changed Lake Ontario to Lake America in their systems.“So now libs are like, ‘We can’t use these companies. I’m never using Apple Maps again. I won’t use Google Maps,’” she says, explaining that the only company liberals have been able to find that didn’t rename the lake is MapQuest.“Which is apparently still a thing. And I think probably the only reason that it didn’t rename it ... is because it hasn’t been updated since like 2015,” Gonzales says.“So they’re going to run into some dead ends. But be that as it may, MapQuest is number one on the app store right now after refusing to change Lake Ontario’s name, according to CNN,” she continues.In an interview on CNN, MapQuest General Manager Doug Berger told Erin Burnett that the company was “absolutely blown away by the response.”“The updated figure is over 1.5 million downloads and installs so far. So it’s completely shocking. And yeah, what a ride so far,” he continued.Burnett even pressed the company on its lack of relevance, as most Americans use Apple or Google to map out their directions.“When people saw this, there were some who said, ‘Wait, MapQuest?’ They weren’t sure that it was still there. OK,” Burnett said, “and you fully embraced that entire conversation.”“So when Eric Trump posts, quote, ‘Shocking to see you’re still alive.’ What is your response to that?” she asked.“First of all, it’s hilarious, and it’s also true. MapQuest is 30 years old. This is actually the 30th birthday or anniversary of MapQuest. And so everybody has fond memories of printing out directions back in the day,” he replied.“Really fond memories,” Gonzales says. “Good luck with your stupid map website app, whatever, printing off your directions. Good luck. Hopefully your directions don’t make you drive right into the Lake of America.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

America’s preeminent legal accreditation cartel has shelved its diversity, equity, and inclusion standards after a months-long pressure campaign by President Donald Trump’s Department of Education. On Tuesday, the American Bar Association Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar voted 10-6 with one abstention to repeal Standard 206. The move comes just before a scheduled National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity review of the ABA’s status as a federally recognized law school accreditor. ‘Federal recognition will not be provided to accreditors engaging in unlawful discrimination in violation of Federal law.’The ABA has maintained a strict monopoly on law school accreditations since 1952. Since the 1990s, the ABA has embraced leftist positions on everything from abortion and speech rules to DEI mandates and lawsuits against the Trump administration. With the NACIQI review scheduled for September 23 and 24, ABA leadership signaled that the DEI repeal was now necessary for the institution’s survival.The ABA referred Blaze News to a Tuesday statement when reached for comment."The council believes that national accreditation of law schools is in the best interests of law students, the legal profession, and the public, and we can best serve in this role with continued recognition by state supreme courts and the Department of Education," Council Chair Melissa Hart said in that statement. "Repealing Standard 206 was necessary to preserve recognition by a growing number of state courts as well as the [Education] Department." RELATED: The establishment strikes back in New Hampshire Senate primary David Paul Morris/Getty Images The repeal comes after a lengthy back-and-forth between the ABA’s various governing bodies and the Trump administration. The DEI rule itself has been suspended since February 2025.President Trump’s April 2025 executive order “Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education” directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to review the ABA’s status as the government’s accreditor on account of its diversity requirements. “Federal recognition will not be provided to accreditors engaging in unlawful discrimination in violation of Federal law,” the order reads.Republican states like Texas, Florida, and Alabama began ditching the ABA as their sole accreditor around that same time. The ABA council first voted to repeal Standard 206 and sent the proposal to its House of Delegates in May. That vote did not repeal the standard, but set the stage for Tuesday’s final vote.The ball is now in the government's court. The hearing later this month will determine whether the ABA’s last-minute DEI reversal will be enough to save its federal accreditor status.The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Trump administration recently revealed it is drafting a proposal, championed by Vice President JD Vance, to change how the government distributes money already earmarked for child care. The plan would tap the roughly $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund and make some of that money available to married couples with a stay-at-home parent. No new appropriation is involved.After months of conservative outrage over fraud and abuse in child care programs, you might expect the right to welcome a proposal that gives families another option. Instead, establishment conservatives attacked Vance with the usual charge: socialism.The deeper fight is political. Many of the people attacking the proposal are fighting over what kind of Republican Party comes after Trump and whether Vance should lead it.The episode reminds us that nearly every policy fight on the right now includes a second argument about the future of the Republican Party. It also shows how quickly ideological slogans replace political judgment.The Child Care and Development Fund was created in the 1990s to help low-income parents pay for care while they work or attend school. As currently structured, it subsidizes commercial child care but not a married parent who stays home to raise children. The administration’s draft proposal would not increase the fund. It would broaden who can receive money from the existing pool.That distinction did little to calm critics. Meghan McCain and Dana Loesch blasted the idea as big-government conservatism. Their objection rests on a familiar premise: Conservatives should abolish subsidies, not redirect them.Fine. Abolish them.But Congress won't do that.For most of history, becoming a widow or single mother was an economic catastrophe. Women depended heavily on husbands, fathers, brothers, and extended families for material support and physical protection. Industrialization, modern medicine, and mass employment changed some of those realities. Progressive feminism then used the state to change many more.The United States built a vast network of welfare programs, employment rules, education preferences, and subsidies designed in part to reduce women’s dependence on men. Whatever the original justification, these policies altered incentives. The state increasingly assumed functions once performed by husbands and families.It would be better to dismantle much of that system. But in a democracy where Congress can barely pass basic legislation, there is no serious prospect of stripping low-income mothers of child care benefits. The relevant question is therefore not whether the program should exist. It should not. The question is what conservatives do with a program that political reality will not allow them to eliminate.RELATED: We need lawfare for white men Blaze Media IllustrationThis is where the outrage over Vance’s proposal becomes revealing.Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the United States has committed well over $100 billion in military and nonmilitary support. Washington also provides Israel with about $3.8 billion in military aid each year, apart from extraordinary spending connected to recent wars in the Middle East. Yet redirecting already appropriated child care money toward married parents who raise their own children somehow triggers cries of socialism.Why?Florida offers a useful analogy. Lawmakers there expanded school-choice programs so public education dollars can follow families into private schools and other approved alternatives. Conservatives could argue that education taxes should simply be abolished. Politically, that is not happening. So lawmakers took money the state was already collecting and made it available to parents who rejected the government’s default institution.The principle is simple: Do not let the perfect become the enemy of the good.The political mistake is confusing accepting a program's existence with endorsing the philosophy that created it. Conservatives do this constantly. They inherit institutions designed by progressives, refuse to use them because doing so feels ideologically impure, and then act surprised when those institutions continue producing progressive outcomes. Power left unused does not disappear. It remains in the hands of people who are perfectly willing to use it against you.The conservative reaction to Vance suggests that much of the movement still prefers ideological purity to attainable victories. McCain warns about government spending, although her father famously cast the decisive vote against the Republican Obamacare repeal effort while supporting an interventionist foreign policy. Loesch argues that Congress should simply eliminate the child care program and cut the taxes that fund it.That would be wonderful. It also won't happen.A Republican Congress that struggles to pass even broadly popular priorities is not about to abolish a federal benefit for low-income working mothers. Pretending otherwise is not principled conservatism. It is political cosplay.Worse, the existing subsidy contains its own ideological bias. It rewards mothers for entering the paid workforce and purchasing child care while offering nothing to a mother who stays home and provides that care herself. Full-time mothers generate enormous social capital, but because their work does not produce a paycheck, it barely registers in the economic statistics that dominate policy debates.RELATED: This is what existential politics looks like Blaze Media IllustrationThe most basic lesson of economics is that you get more of what you subsidize. If government subsidizes commercial child care only when mothers leave home for paid employment, it creates an incentive to do so. Expanding eligibility to stay-at-home parents reduces that distortion.You can oppose the entire program and still recognize that.The Vance proposal does not allocate an additional dollar for child care. It uses executive discretion to change how it distributes existing funds. Critics can reasonably argue about whether the administration has statutory authority to make the change, how eligibility should work, or whether the fund should exist at all. Those are real arguments.Screaming “socialism” is not.The deeper fight is political. Many of the people attacking the proposal are fighting over what kind of Republican Party comes after Trump and whether Vance should lead it.That’s why a modest change to an existing subsidy produces such hysterics. The old conservative movement would rather preserve ideological purity than use available power to produce a better outcome. Vance’s proposal exposes that instinct in miniature — and shows why the GOP still has a loser mentality.

California police are searching for a man in his 20s who allegedly beat an elderly woman with an aluminum baseball bat.The woman's family says that the 71-year-old had offered to let the young man stay at her home in Crestline in San Bernardino County.'If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home.' Therese Garcia had met the man while she sat on her front porch, her daughter said to KNBC-TV.The 26-year-old man told Garcia that all of his belongings had been stolen while he was camping, and she offered him space at her home. After two weeks, the man started to take over her home, leading Garcia to ask him to leave.That's when the man got violent, according to Garcia's daughter."When she went to sleep that night, she just woke up to him beating her with a metal bat, and that went on for hours," said Abbie Garcia."She would lose consciousness and wake up a little bit," she added. "Every time she would wake up a little bit, he would come back and beat her again to the point where she finally lost consciousness fully."The man stole the woman's keys, phone, and e-bike before fleeing.Her daughter said that Garcia was found after the neighbors called for a wellness check from police. "If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home," she said. RELATED: Shocking police footage shows man brutally beating victim with a baseball bat The victim suffered injuries that included broken bones, deep lacerations, and a traumatic brain injury, according to her daughter. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office later identified the suspect as Erik Eduardo Navarro of Orange County."My mom didn't deserve this," Abbie Garcia added. "She was simply trying to help someone she believed was in need, something she has always done throughout her life. This time, her kindness was met with unimaginable violence."Like Blaze News?

Canada’s descent into madness just got worse.On September 2, a Canadian reporter from the state-subsidized Global News outlet asked U.S. Admiral Samuel Paparo at a military conference in Victoria, B.C., whether he would obey an order from President Trump to attack Canada.“I find that scenario to be absolutely and utterly preposterous,” Paparo retorted. "I follow the orders of the commander in chief, but that is a needlessly emotional question.”Even though he explicitly called Canada a “close ally” of the U.S., the reporter pressed him again, accusing Paparo of not answering the question.“I said I follow the orders of the president,” Paparo reiterated, comparing the reporter’s question to inquiring about “attack plans … for the Martians.”Glenn Beck agrees with Paparo that such a loaded question is utterly "preposterous." “He has to answer, ‘I follow the instructions of the commander of the United States.’ … He's in uniform. That's what he does,” he exclaims.“Now, a separate question: If the president called you up today and said, ‘Hey, I need you to launch missiles against Mark Carney,’ I would bet any admiral, every admiral, would go, ‘Mr. President, can I get your code again, please? That doesn't make any sense,”’ Glenn continues.But he knows such an order is utterly ludicrous and thus virtually impossible.“Those would be the orders of an absolute lunatic,” he says. “We're not at war. Mark Carney is the one who said we're at war. … [President Trump] has sent person after person after person to talk to the Canadians and say, ‘We're not in a war.”’If Global News’ attempt to bait a U.S. admiral into a Canada-invasion sound bite wasn’t bad enough, another state-subsidized news outlet then took the brief and awkward exchange and framed it as though Paparo had refused to answer the inquiry and would unquestionably follow any order from Trump.Glenn calls out the “Ottawa Citizen” for publishing a deceptive article titled “U.S. admiral dodges questions about attacking Canada but acknowledges he would follow Trump’s orders.”“That's not dodging. That's a stupid question. We are allies,” he says.The Global News reporter who targeted Paparo, Glenn says, “[needs] a medical checkup.”“And the good thing is there's room for you to see the doctor probably in June of 2028,” he jokes.Canada, Glenn explains, is so tied in knots about an imaginary war with Trump that it is ignoring a very real and ominous problem: It’s “cozying up” to anti-Western powers that might eventually put Canada at odds with the U.S.“You keep cozying up to China, you keep bringing China in. … [The U.S.] can't trade with you because China is a threat to the United States,” says Glenn, “and the closer you get to them, the more we have to build a wall, either literally or figuratively, between us.”He continues, “The more you get in bed with radicalized Islam to the point where you have 2,000 Canadian Jews going, ‘I've got to get out of here’ … the more we have to distance ourselves.”“You keep going down this road for 10 years, and you know what? There might be a battle plan on the table,” he warns.But Canada, says Glenn, is likely to become an “enemy of God” before it becomes an enemy of the U.S.“If you become more communist, more Marxist, more collectivist, you keep killing your people [via the Medical Assistance in Dying program] at the clip you're killing them at, in the name of ‘compassion,’ you're not an enemy of the United States; you're an enemy of mankind — you're an enemy of God,” he warns.“He's going to solve that problem long before the U.S. military will. You're going to collapse.”To hear more, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Football is back. The first harbinger of fall is just around the corner, bringing game-day tailgates, late-night bonfires, and hope that this just might be your team’s year to win it all.Fueling this hope is a fresh round of hype videos getting folks excited for the season. For NFL and college football fans alike, these edits of last season’s highlights are just the thing to paper over last year’s disappointment and turn over a new leaf for the season ahead.The real strength of the conservative movement is not in the ivory tower or stone colonnade.One hype video broke out of the college football echo chamber with over 4.5 million views online. What about this video is so resonant? The message — and conservatives should take notice.The video opens in the Auburn Tigers' locker room, where coach Hugh Freeze is giving a pep talk. “Life is more about others than it is yourself,” he begins. “What buys long-lasting purpose is you understanding selflessness and it being about something bigger than yourself.”Hopefully every coach and every political movement understands teamwork relies on humility to achieve a larger goal.He continues, “Tonight, I submit to you that there’s some family that drove from I don’t know where, parked five miles away from this stadium, and they saved all ... year long, just to buy a ticket, to climb to the top of that stadium and watch your tail play!”As the music builds to a crescendo, Freeze screams the most potent line of the video: “YOU OWE THEM SOMETHING!”In sports, as in politics, conservatives must recommit to playing for the fans in the cheap seats.This does not mean rallying around the lowest common denominator or dumbing down conservative messaging. It means remembering why so many conservative advocates got into the trenches to begin with.How many of those players in the Auburn locker room started as kids in the cheap seats?How many conservative politicos began as local activists knocking doors, eating cold pizza, and making calls for something they really believed in? Conservatives need to recapture some of that grassroots energy and turn it into tangible victories for the people who put them in office.We owe them something.For those working in the professional conservative movement in D.C., that means less time on niche debates and more time delivering for average Americans who share conservative values and need a voice in the nation’s capital.In 2024, voters elected President Trump and a Republican Congress on clear promises to improve the country. They expect results, just like the family saving all year for one game expects the team to leave it all on the field.With the announcement that the House is canceling the final two weeks of session this month, it’s now or never. The House will have four days left to crystallize the case they’ll take home ahead of the November elections.There is no shortage of opportunities to create contrast.RELATED: Congress gets a clean vote on gender sanity Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call Inc./Getty ImagesThe Chloe Cole Act from Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) or the Title IX Clarification Act from Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) would undermine the gender industrial complex in medicine and women’s sports.The southern border is secure in part because of President Trump’s executive orders; Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy’s Permanent Trump Secure Border Act would codify the administrative changes necessary to preserve national sovereignty if another open-borders Democrat came into office.House Republicans could take a major step forward toward a longtime conservative priority to close the Department of Education by passing the Less Bureaucracy, Better Education Package, codifying transfers of authority of duplicative education programs.Passing any of these measures would be a good step to demonstrate that conservatives in Washington are moving the ball down the field for those cheering fans.No one wants to cheer for a team calling it quits while there is still time on the clock.Those in D.C. tend to bristle at giving credit beyond their elite circles, but it is time to acknowledge the real strength of the conservative movement is not in the ivory tower or stone colonnade.It lies in every hardworking American chasing the American dream who still believes in the principles that have made America exceptional and votes to keep it that way.We owe them our best. Let’s give them a reason to show up.

The Nike sportswear company has lost so much value that it's getting tossed out of the S&P 100 stock index charting the top 100 U.S. businesses.The company was mocked by many on the right over its marketing campaigns featuring controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick and transgender activist Dylan McDermott.'NIKE filled its executive positions with feminists and woke ideology advocates. ...

For years, television series have beat audiences over the head with progressive messaging. Many attempts to counter-produce alternatives with traditional and faith-centered themes either died before production or failed to break through.But that trend hasn’t reached Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing’s fantasy series “The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin” — an explicitly Christian adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead’s novels about the origins of Merlin and early Arthurian legends.The series debuted on DailyWire+ in January and later became the No. 1 fantasy series in the U.K., Ireland, Spain, and Portugal after hitting Prime Video overseas; it arrived on Prime in the U.S. on September 1 and has continued to climb.Now Boreing joins Christopher Rufo and Jonathan Keeperman, co-hosts of “Rufo and Lomez,” to discuss why conservatives keep underperforming in entertainment — and how “Pendragon” successfully broke the pattern. “You've managed to do the impossible,” Keeperman tells Boreing, “which is make something that looks great, it's slick, it's professional, it's well acted, it's well written, it looks like a high production TV show ought to look, and you've done it within the conservative ecosystem.”“And moreover, it's a show that's not about politics, per se. It's just good storytelling,” he adds.He inquires about how Boreing was able to “pull this rabbit out the hat.”“The hard way, of course,” Boreing quips.“Art is very ambitious, and a show like ‘The Pendragon Cycle’ requires an awful lot of risk to be taken by an awful lot of people,” he continues, highlighting the Daily Wire, executive producer Dallas Sonnier, and “the cast and crew” as the primary risk-takers who saw the lofty project from idea to reality.As for the actors, Boreing praises them as “the greatest ensemble of relatively unknown actors maybe ever assembled.”“I'm so proud of this cast,” he adds, “but it's a risk for them to associate with what they feared would be a really political operation. Of course, it didn't turn out to be because that wasn't what we were chasing. We were chasing true entertainment and true art.”Entertainment, Boreing notes, is an area conservatives tend to underachieve.“We think that the audience will only accept a polemic, but that isn't true,” he says. “Our audience engages with entertainment and art just as much as any other audience.”The problem, he says, is that conservative audiences haven’t “had any instruction” on what “good art with [conservative] values” looks like because it’s “so rare.”“What we're left with is what I call the ‘want to want to’s’ ... movies that nobody actually wants to see, but ... they want to support it,” Boreing explains, noting that these conservatives usually end up “[watching] the exact same television as everyone else” despite progressive themes and values.This is deeply problematic, he argues, because as “Will and Grace” demonstrated with public attitudes toward homosexuality in the late 1990s and early 2000s, television can “actually [change] how an entire generation” views political issues.“That's the power of actual entertainment,” says Boreing. “[‘Will and Grace’] did that not leading with its politics; it did it by completely immersing an audience into the lives of a set of characters who had a particular point of view, and it drew you into that point of view, and we tried to do the same with 'Pendragon.'”To hear more about the series, watch the episode above.Want more from Rufo & Lomez?To enjoy more of the news through the anthropological lens of Christopher Rufo and Lomez, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The PAC raised money to oppose transgender athletes in women's sports and the millionaire's tax, as well as to support a parental bill of rights.The brewery owners, brothers John and Lucas Xitco, said that they had donated to the PAC to oppose the tax.Zev Cook, the activist who exposed the Xitcos' donations, had been a Tacoma City Council candidate and also a co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America in Tacoma. Cook also identifies as a transgender woman. Some of the restaurants are pledging to stop selling the brewery's offerings."We are an anti-fascist restaurant, we support trans kids, we believe in a progressive tax system.

The United States armed forces are often parodied or serve as the inspiration for many Hollywood films, but it's typically not the other way around.With the Space Force, for example, the entity saw a near-immediate parody after its founding in 2019, with actors like Steve Carell and John Malkovich tapped to do the deed.'It's afraid.'Verhoeven-coreFive months after President Donald Trump and his administration founded the Space Force in December 2019, Netflix launched a comedy series based on the new agency.Although "Space Force" portrayed members with their own unique dark-blue dress uniforms, this was a bit of creative license. In reality, Guardians have worn "modified Air Force uniform[s]" since the Space Force was established.That has been changing. The Space Force unveiled a prototype of its own service dress uniform in 2021 and spent the following years refining the design. In January, the service formally introduced the finished uniform and outlined plans for its rollout.Now Trump appears to have something else in mind.On Sunday, the president posted an image to Truth Social depicting a proposed “next generation” Space Force dress uniform.“Inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform,” the image read, “modernized for the Guardians of the Space Domain.” Its colors were identified as Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.But the apparent inspiration for the design quickly attracted attention.The reference is to “Starship Troopers,” Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 science-fiction satire, whose futuristic military aesthetic deliberately borrowed from Nazi imagery. Verhoeven has said he intended the film to depict a fascist society whose inhabitants did not recognize themselves as fascists.Forbes was among the outlets to note the resemblance, calling the style "Sci-Fi Fascist."RELATED: Deceptive slop is now junking up our favorite map apps. Don't be fooled. Cult following"Starship Troopers" has developed a cult following, thanks in part to its bizarre humor, memorable lines, bloody action sequences, and hordes of giant alien bugs.The film takes place in a distant future in which Earth is controlled by a single government known as the Terran Federation. Full citizenship — including the right to vote — is reserved for those who complete a term of federal service, which for the film's main characters means joining the military.Citizenship also carries other privileges. At one point, a character says she wants to serve because it will make it easier for her to obtain a license to have children.The society is deliberately depicted as an outwardly prosperous and harmonious but deeply militaristic regime, complete with government propaganda, constant appeals to sacrifice, and an enemy — the alien “bugs” — against which humanity can unite.Director Paul Verhoeven told Interview magazine in 2017 that he “wanted these people to be like proto-Nazis, proto-Aryans.”A year later, Verhoeven told the Guardian that he had deliberately borrowed imagery from Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda films, including “Triumph of the Will,” while filming the movie's propaganda sequences.“I was using Riefenstahl to point out, or so I thought, that these heroes and heroines were straight out of Nazi propaganda,” Verhoeven said. “No one saw it at the time.”“I thought Neil Patrick Harris arriving on the set in an SS uniform might clear it up.”RELATED: Worse than Flock: Josh Hawley expands 'unprecedented national surveillance' investigation Clothes callDespite that satirical intent, the movie is perhaps best remembered by fans for its gleefully over-the-top propaganda sequences and endlessly quotable lines, including “I'm doing my part!” and “It's afraid!” For many, the film has become a beloved sci-fi action comedy whose militaristic excess is part of the joke.The Space Force, meanwhile, continues with its years-in-development uniform roll out. An Honor Guard version, featuring distinctive light-blue accents, made its public debut last month.It remains unclear where Trump's “Starship Troopers”-inspired design fits into those plans. While the president's post described it as a “next generation” uniform, it did not say when it would be introduced or whether it would replace the service dress uniform already being rolled out.“Our service dress uniform represents the unique identity of Guardians, blending heritage with a modern design that reflects our unity and mission,” then-Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said in January. “From the start, Guardian feedback shaped its design and fit. I know the force will wear it with pride.”
