If that is what the redesign is about, the meaning placed on it is so wildly contradictory to the imagery. They DID get peace. That’s why we have a nation. The idea pushed with this, that the eagle shouldn’t have an olive branch because we haven’t achieved peace yet is just false. We did. Then we didn’t like it, and threw it away.
If you want to make symbolic imagery describing our nation, just make the eagle eat the liver of a small child tied to a rock. Still referencing Greek/roman myths but is more accurate to our way of life.

Feel free to disagree with the imagery as you like. I’m not trying to dissuade you.
But the creator’s point was to represent the time during the revolution when peace had not yet been achieved.
