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

We should ship your mother over to Iraq. God bless our soldiers.

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

#434, you're a douchebag. My uncle just happens to be one of those troops, asshole. Get a life and bitch somewhere else.

I apologize for this soldier's behavior. You are entitled to your free speech regardless if it offends us because it is what we are here for. We will continue to defend the Constitution and the freedoms that make this country stand out, until our deaths. Even if America is destroyed, I believe these freedoms must be protected in an uncertain future.

First of all, if you got the main idea of the FML, there is no reason to nit-pick everything just so you can try and sound smart. So get over yourselves. Secondly, you shouldn't have had to apologize for your mother's rudeness and ignorance. And the soldier should not have made you feel bad for something your mother said. FYL. To 434, OP's mother was not right. There is a difference between supporting the war, and supporting the troops. Many people have good reasons to not want to support the war, but refusing to support the troops for their courage is just ridiculous and I can't think of one good reason why anyone would generalize an entire group of people as "stupid" just because you disagree.

Your mom is a major bitch. I support our troops, but not the war. Especially since my uncle is one of them. That soldier had every right to be pissed, but not at you. FYL considering the soldier took this shit out on you. And I really didn't even notice the incorrect grammar until mentioned by the nerdy little assholes in the comments. If you got the gist of the story, then why the **** are you complaining?? Shut the **** up, this is an FML, not a college essay. Whoever clicked YDI is a lonely low life asshole.

Your mom should be punched right in the ******* face. And I think his response was appropriate, what did you want him to be mouth "oh, it's okay" big smiles.. Frick no. And being brave enough to enlist during a war is not stupid, eww, your mom is a word that starts with C, that rhymes with the way you kick a football.

Your mom has no respect for me and my fellow troops that have been fighting for this country and no I am not that man that your mom said sorry to. she should be ashamed speaking like that about people who have gotten shot (like me) and the people who have died for this country. FYL for having such a disrespectful mom
