My Resting Face IS My Happy Face. Adjust Your Expectations. – Veteran Shirt Idea

Somewhere along the way — probably around week 3 of basic training — the smile got tactical.

Civilians smile constantly. At nothing. For no reason. Just walking around beaming at the world like golden retrievers who just discovered a tennis ball.

Veterans smile when something is genuinely funny, when the mission is complete, or when the food is unexpectedly good. That's it. Those are the three triggers.

The default face is what civilians call "scary" or "are you okay?" or "you look like you want to fight someone."

That's not what's happening. What's happening is neutral. Resting. Operational standby.

When a veteran smiles at you for no reason, be concerned. That's the dangerous one. That means they know something you don't.

This shirt idea is a public service announcement for every civilian who has asked a veteran "what's wrong?" when absolutely nothing was wrong. We're fine. This is fine. Everything is fine.
