However, not everyone is excited that the bald eagle logo for the 227-year-old naval military force is masked up.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Navy, the most powerful navy on the planet, altered the iconic logo to include a surgical mask on the bald eagle.<\/p>\n<p>Newsmax TV host John Cardillo was one of the first people to notice the change. &#8220;The eagle in the @USNavy&#8217;s logo is wearing a mask,&#8221; Cardillo tweeted on Friday afternoon, and included a screencap of the Navy&#8217;s official Twitter page.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China, Iran, and Russia are pissing their pants laughing at us,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>As PJ Media reported, the U.S. Navy first introduced the masked eagle logo a year ago. The altered logo was uploaded on April 20, 2020, and included the caption: &#8220;The eagle is practicing #socialdistancing and wearing a mask when out in public. Be like the eagle. #COVID_19 #flattenthecurve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whenever it was uploaded, there was a multitude of people unhappy with the modification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not propagating the altered logo by posting it.
