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.

562 is a ******* son of a bitch. they have supiriors who make sure they dont commit these bad acts. plus military prison is alot harsher than regular prison plus the military tribunal is alot tougher. some troops have done that. and were given life in military prison and a dishonorable discharge. plus. the ones who hated the USA there either are parts of Al Queda. or has hated them before we were there. the way the people feel when we are there is probably better then when sadam and his sons where torturing and murdering the general public. the USA did do harsh interogations in gitmo. but only three or four times. (1 of them involved with 911. ). compare that with the sadam vids and reports.

WTF #578 i was pointing out how civilians bitching and moaning and not giving their respect to soldiers alive and especially dead is exactly like ******** on a dead soldiers funeral and on their families seriously wtf are you getting at, replying on a completely different topic? dont call me a son of a bitch until you can actually read!! esp when we agree on the same point "the way the people feel when we are there(,) is probably better th(a)n when sadam and his sons where torturing and murdering the general public" seriously.... maybe you tagged the wrong poster? To all those who have loved ones serving in the military, they have my prayers. i hope they return to you loving, loved and well

It was definitely ignorant for her to say, but moreso because she wasn't paying attention to who was standing around her. How ironic is it that the soldier is is pissed at her for expressing one of the very freedoms that the asshole soldier enlisted to defend. The fact that the soldier used a threatening response also shows his deep ignorance. If he wanted some gratitude and respect he should have enlisted with PETA. That fact is, we can all say whatever the hell we want because we are FREE to do so, whether we agree with anyone or not. To all the soldiers---Thank you for having the balls to fight in an unjust war based on a ******* lie. But if you are doing this for respect and gratitude and for people to kiss your ass, you may want to consider a different profession... Never mind, you're not allowed to

Um most people seen to be pro soldier dis government to a dead soldier, it might not matter whether the war is about oil, or freedom, or whether the war is just or not. they are dead and people are going out of their way to publicly insult them Article 17 of the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states 1. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his HONOR and REPUTATION. 2. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. the ops mum was committing slander, regardless of weather they think they are supporting the pro war industry and their rich owners with deep pockets, they do not deserve you insulting their honor or reputation

Did you even read my posts? I explicitly said I am waiting responses for 493 and 411. No one has responded. You claim I am attacking the honor of these soldiers. What about the honor of the Iraqi people? From 1991-2003, the US-led sanctions starved out 500,000 Iraqis. The use of depleted uranium caused thousands of babies to be born (I DARE you to read my post and see the image I attached for yourself, for anyone to see). As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, NATIONAL or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, NO DISTINCTION SHALL BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF THE POLITICAL, JURISDICTIONAL, OR INTERNATIONAL STATUS OF THE COUNTRY OR TERRITORY TO WHICH A PERSON BELONGS, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty." The Iraqi people have been repeatedly denied this. Cutting off food and medicine to them for 12 years, attacking them with Tomohawk missiles with depleted uranium, ignoring the rest of the world which called these sanctions "genocidal" to bring the country to its knees, was a revolting act. AND still, I see no compassion for you for the Iraqis. They are the ones that have suffered.
