The design is a bold, unapologetic statement piece that merges dark humor with gritty realism — crafted especially for those who live on the edge, whether on the battlefield or in the grind of everyday life. The skull wears a rugged military-style combat helmet in a traditional olive drab tone, immediately invoking the iconography of soldiers and warfare. The phrase “Born to War” is emblazoned across the helmet in hand-brushed lettering, reminiscent of battlefield graffiti and a nod to Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. Beneath the skull, in stark, stylized text, is the biting punchline: “Forced to  Work”. This duality, being forged for war but shackled by the monotony of labor — is a tribute to every veteran, warrior, operator, or rebel who feels out of place in the 9-to-5 grind. Together the text, “Born to War, Forced to Work”, is for all who are preparing to war, but are stuck doing mundane jobs. It’s for those who feel like lions in a world built for sheep.

Born to War Soldier is a 58 mm circular high quality Pin Badge with a magnet for those who relate to the warrior ethos but are navigating civilian life.
