The Eye of Horus would have been as quickly controversial in this ceremony as it would have been on the dollar. Those who disclaim this because it
doesn't resemble the Eye of Horus forget what country they live in, and also are painfully demanding in their proof.
The Eye of Horus was, as many other symbols, aesthetically driven to symbolize the meaning. Ultimately, it is an eye. As the hieroglyphics had an
eye, as does our delineated culture. It represents the same "sacred" meaning. The meaning is the absolute control of the final frontier, which is
humanity.
Not to mention, with Horus' Eye being so whimsical and flowery...one would have a hard time imagining the commanding officer ordering such
meaningless form in a ceremony.
