Oh dear...
This doozy was spotted by Wired's Danger Room team:
"We’ve featured some seriously over-the-top military patches here in the Danger Room. This one, nabbed by Spencer in Afghanistan, counts as one of the most over-the-toppest.
The emblem is for Task Force ODIN — the team of killer drones, manned spy planes, and intelligence analysts, named after the all-seeing pater familias of the Norse gods. And it’s just what you’d want from an Army-meets-Asgard mashup.
On the patch (from ODIN’s just-departed detachment) an armed drone sails over the head of a blond, bearded warrior, clad in chain mail. “SURRENDER OR DIE!” screams the text along the bottom. But the ironic thing is, ODIN isn’t really in the killing business any more.
During ODIN’s original incarnation, in Iraq, the task force helped bring hundreds of insurgent bombers to an early end. These days, in Afghanistan, ODIN is more in the business of surveillance and intelligence-gathering. Guess “SURRENDER OR WE’LL WATCH YOU FOR A WHILE” wasn’t a catchy enough slogan."

Surrender or have some chaps from the Alpha Beta Omega drinking thing that we always see on American college movies come over in fancy dress. A13 - 214th the fancy dress warriors.

Well when you stuck in the sh*t hole war, whatever it takes to give you some motivation, glorification about your job I think!
Beside, just because you don't shoot doesn't mean you don't POINT!

Another thing...: Odin was one-eyed, he sacrificed one eye for knowledge. Is that way they crash a lot????
He also exposed himself to a lot of pain to understand the the world, is that a metaphor her somewhere.??..hehehehe

I happen to have a couple of good friends in TF Odin. One of them is even a Troop commander.

Just let the little Boys feel cool with a little sticker on their chests. If that helps them kill people every day, why not?

I personally like to walk a mile in the persons shoes I'm making fun of as well. That way I'm when they hear me I'm a mile away and have their shoes... =P
