TIL the star of life...

...the blue asterisk used to indicate a first-aid station,...

...held in reserve by the US NHTSA for universal use..

...after Red Cross got overprotective with its IP (such as suggesting the Red Cross shouldn't be used in video games or on most ambulances)...

...is punk and radical.

TBH, I kinda see the point of being so protective over the Red Cross. It's meant to be used to mark medics in a war, so not allowing it to be used frivolously removes any excuse from any party commiting war crimes.

Not that anyone cares about not commiting war crimes.
