Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was home on leave and having breakfast with my parents and my younger brothers. I guess I got too used to the rougher language around the Army barracks where I'm stationed. At the breakfast table, I asked my Mom to "pass me the f***ing butter." FML
Today, I saw a man in an army uniform. As a bit of a patriot, I went up to thank him for his service. After about 10 minutes of me going on and on, he started laughing. He wasn't a soldier. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML
Today, while making small talk with a veteran, I made the mistake of using the phrase "Cost an arm and a leg". He was a double amputee. FML
Today, my dad drunkenly ranted about how I should volunteer for the military because of the crisis in the Middle East. I refused; I'm in college on two scholarships and have listened to stories of why his service still gives him nightmares. I had to hide all the phones to keep him from calling the recruiters. FML
Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML
Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML
Today, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML
Today, I saw some servicemen sitting outside a café, and I went over to thank them for their service. They waited till after I was done shaking their hands before they told me that they were just actors on their lunch break. FML
Today, I talked to my dad about joining the military. He got up, laughed, and said, "As if the army would accept a pussy like you." FML

That's awful. I give soldiers hugs and tell them thank you. Your mom needs to learn a little respect.

I can't stand the mentality that people in the military tend to develop; how they just walk around like they're better than everyone else and expect everyone to bow to them, while having no respect for anyone else. I'm not saying I don't respect them for what they've done, but I'm sure as hell not worshiping them. Sure, your mother shouldn't have been saying that shit in public, but the soldier had no reason to respond like that.

Your mom is an ignorant, ungrateful bitch. How dare she talk in that way about the soldiers serving our country. She doesn’t have to support the war, but she has to support and respect the troops. If she won’t stand behind our troops, tell her to stand in front of them.

well to be honest if I were you, I would of told my mom to shut up, no offence but your mom shouldnt be saying things like that. I do believe in freedom of speach but mocking soldiers like that is flat out stupid in my opinion because I have family in the service. The solider just made my day, high five to him or her :)

Your mom can go to hell!! MY husband is a us marine and will be living for iraq in august. He is going to be protecting his country while his family back home is worried sick about him. Your mother should show some respect since they are out there fighting for her and the rest of this country, wether they believe in the war or not they still believe in this country and in their people, people need to believe in them. My husband is only 19 and will turn 20 in iraq and he has more strenght and courage then half the men in this country, it takes a brave man to put his life aside to fight for yours. Maybe your mother should think about the things those men have to give up just so she can carry on her day to day life. I havent seen my husband in four months and he leaves for another year, he misses his family every day but is putting his feelings aside to be strong for all of us. Your mother should think about everything those men go threw, they are brave but they are scared too and she should be supportive that even though they are scared they still have the heart and guts to stand up for us, so we dont have to. She should be ashamed, its people like her that make the vetrans feel so unappricated... I know this isnt your views but you should have your mother think about if from those soliders point of views and maybe she will see things differently. SIMPER FI!!!!

Soldiers do not get to choose where they go and what they do, but most knew what they were getting into when they enlisted.... not everyone agrees with this war and not everyone supports the people that are fighting it, that soldier should learn to accept this. Soldiers are people, the same as everyone else. Some are brave, some ignorant and stupid they should be respected just like everyone else but I don't think they have a right to get all offended when someone says that this way (and by extension those fighting it) are stupid. On a side note I am completely disheartened by the number of people who give intelligent, well thought comments a negative rating just because they do not agree with it. freedom of speech people, learn to accept other opinions without getting offended.
