Er, doesn&#x27;t a very similar octopus&#x2F;earth image make up the main body somebody&#x27;s squadron patch?  Said differently: I&#x27;m pretty sure I&#x27;ve seen this image somewhere before!<p>As others have mentioned, a lot of patches are downright creepy.<p>Why?  Well, I always assumed that it was a manifestation of the terrible power that these young men and women have been ordered to wield, and create for that matter.<p>Before you reject that outright since I said it maybe a little too poetically, consider this:<p>Which member of the team gets asked to design a patch?  The guy who can draw.  The guy who thinks too much and reads too much.  The warrior poet.<p>When you are asked to build something that you KNOW must never fall into the wrong hands, you take your job seriously.  That weight is what is going to come to mind when you&#x27;re asked to make an image to represent your work.<p>NB. I am completely confident that the hardworking defenders of our nation generally believe in their missions.  They know that their work would be evil <i>IFF</i> it wasn&#x27;t all being carried out by good people, like themselves.
