“These lyrics are the verbal phrase salad model of a foul air drive portray,” he wrote. “Grammatically, I’m dying to edit: You’re not the ‘invisible’ entrance line. CIA is… ‘Warfighter’ is NOT A WORD.”
One other observer tweeted, “Why did they go Forties struggle music style for a Twenty first-century space-aged company? #SpaceForce.”
To write down the tune, Sean Nelson, the lead musician of the US Coast Guard Band, teamed up with Teachenor, a rustic music songwriter and member of the US Air Pressure Band.
