Commanders table discussion
@69.116.73.107: I believe there is no need to list both USAF and USSF as General Raymond's service branch, as he was an AF officer that transferred to the SF. Adding the USAF seal clutters the table and doesn't add much added information. Furthermore, double counting the commanders list with him both under AF and SF misrepresents the amount of SPACECOM CDRs from each service, hence the reason for counting him only under his final service (SF) and adding a note the AF one explaining it. Please respond here, rather than reverting again. Garuda28 (talk) 00:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
