War games and military patches

I think of the Strategic Air Command as a super-serious military enterprise.

The U.S. Army Air Forces established the Strategic Air Command (SAC) on March 21, 1946, for the specific purpose of executing “long-range offensive operations in any part of the world, either independently or in co-operation with land and naval forces,” writes Roger Launius in his blog.

But when you worked for the SAC, you got to wear this cute patch that looks like a comic book character--Superman?  Batman? 

Men and their war games and uniforms...
