Are they even trying anymore?

Ok…I realize I phrased this question oddly. I really don’t even know about asking it, I’m just dumbfounded, I really am. I’ve been toying with the idea of asking this question for a while now but figured I’d hold off till someone could ask it more eloquently than I, but that seems to have not happened so I’ll give it my best stab.

Recently the US launched a spy satellite, nrol-39, the logo they chose for it….. it’s just wow… several points for bad ass but minus several million for looking like the bad guys…..

If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is .

Upon seeing it, two things popped to my mind immediately, the first being this (cause I’m a nerd) followed by this and then this

I don’t know, I just don’t understand how despite the US catching so much flak lately over the whole spying ordeal that they would settle on a logo such as that….. are they not even trying to hide it anymore? Is the message they’re trying to send “we can see what your doing whenever, where ever.” ?
