The imperialistic hubris of official icons. The world is their oyster. While all official insignia from<br />

the Department of Defense do not inscribe the world as militarized U.S. territory it is remarkable<br />

just how many do. Here we see the badges for commandos (the Navy SEALs and the Joint Special<br />

Operations Command that unites all special forces), for space forces (Space Command), for<br />

researchers (the Strategic Computing Program and for DARPA as a whole) all feature the world<br />

as their backdrop. The other bgos are corporate (GTE) and from corporate-military conferences<br />

in the Czech Republic and the United States. The message is clear in all of these symbols. War<br />

is global, militarization is global, our reach is global.<br />
