How the artwork is built

Two crossed rifles dominate the center of the design, positioned over an American flag rendered in shades of red and gray that echo the banner's stripes and stars. White text frames the image: "I AM A VETERAN" sits above, while "I CAN FIX STUPID BUT IT'S GONNA HURT" wraps below in large, commanding letters. Red accent bars flank the final word "HURT," adding visual emphasis to the punchline. Small stars in red sit above the top line and mirror the flag's canton, tying the military imagery together into one cohesive statement of service and wry confidence.
