Exactly what I thought as well. French Phrygian cap, on the head of a snake with a forked tongue representing France,in effect demonizing them. The little girl praying to god for her father. In other words, we are a praying, compassionate, loving people, God is on our side, sympathize with this little girl and our cause, look what the french have done. etc.etc.etc. Psychological warfare.
Most of us in the USA and France know this cap as the Liberty cap or in French, (bonnet de la Liberté) or red cap (bonnet rouge). Which of course we all know is the symbol of liberty and freedom. On the other hand being a military minded individual, if this snake were on a military patch, this would be way cool. I would add fangs squirting venom though. Interesting how symbols can be manipulated for the desired effect. Thank you.
