I think it’s just the mark up that bothers me. Also, the veteran owned business… bla bla.. 16 years acting duty here. Then offering a discount, you could just from China without decals for much less. No holy war, more or less wanted to validate my thoughts.

Only four years myself ending in the early 90s, but applied online for VA healthcare benefits on a whim and was approved (with copays).

For doing the whole vet owned schtick, their vet bro energy is super low.

Eh, huge difference developing the design and giving it to a factory to produce vs picking something from an OEM's catalogue

Haha it’s a toss up between whose website is worse. November vs Irish, toss a Cricut decal on and call it a brand. Here’s the thing, I love Chinese junk, have multiple sets of Superteam wheels with new spokes because the rears break everytime, but rebranding them and up charging pisses me off. I also dislike people who use their military service to brand their brand, fully knowing they’re POGs who deployed to Kuwait to test armor in the motor pool. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!
