I still think it looks like a Starfleet logo. They are all but openly giving the raspberry by displaying the ornament with the background world-and-orbit thingy kind of tossed to one side. Phhhhhhbt!
Emergency Covid relief held up due to sudden awareness of “ballooning national debt”, and yet here’s this timely reminder of the needless bullshit expansion of DoD by the party of small government apparently progressing right along. And is there just a slight possibility the rest of the planet might have just a little something to say about our proposed militarization of space?
The good news is, the Ruskies have proven you don’t need the biggest, most expensive military in the world. Handful of hackers is all it takes. We could take all that money we’re spending on an obsolete and obsolescent military and spend it on the (((Space Force))), and maybe start looking for a new place to live, because we’ve only got about a hundred years to find one.
The fact that “Guardians” is the name of the theocracy’s military/police force in The Handmaid’s Tale is simply a remarkable coincidence, I’m sure.

“Guardians of the Galaxy?” And the effing badge looks like an automobile hood ornament.
Please tell me this isn’t read. Also, if it is, one of Biden’s first take should be to abolish it. I don’t believe it was ever established by statute.

Good thing Pontiac’s not using the badge anymore.
DeSoto had some serviceable options.

Not too far off-topic, but have you noticed Dodge is no longer using as hood ornament a perfect rendition of the human female reproductive system?
