Today, my Marine friend got back from his tour of duty overseas. We went out for drinks to celebrate his return. His own form of celebration was to pick a fight with a returning Navy SEAL and his friends. We lost. Badly. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, some muscle-head showed up at my house and started beating on me. Turned out my son had been posing online as a Navy SEAL, using a picture of me, and had dared this guy to come over and fight him. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML
Today, aside from clearing out my bank accounts and having an affair, the kicker was finding out my fiancé planned on taking himself and his mistress to Cancun for his birthday, while I would be attending the Marine Corps boot camp. FML
Today, after nearly 2 years of continuous fighting in Afghanistan, my unit came home. We were booed at the airport. FML
Today, I met the girl who dumped me because the distance between us was too great. We're in the same city again. She's now dating a Marine in Iraq. FML
Today, my boyfriend got drunk and had a fistfight with a dumb teenager, which was bad enough, but he also lost the fight, which was just pathetic and embarrassing. FML
Today, I woke up and I'm still in the Marine Corps. FML
Today, I got back from an 8 month deployment but rather than being pleased to see me my wife wanted to continue the same argument we were having the day I left. I miss being shot at. FML
Today, my boyfriend got done with Marine combat training. The first thing he asked for weren't pictures of me but pictures of his car. Missed you too babe. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He wound up drinking a whole bottle of wine, and when the bill came, he drunkenly yelled at the waiter, claiming it should be free, because he's in the military "fighting for your freedom." He's a mechanic in the National Guard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Navy SEALS are like grim reapers in training. Why would you fight them.

That sucks, but... You DEFINITELY deserved that. You don't pick fights with a Navy SEAL unless you want to nearly die or actually die... Tell your Marine friend to grow a brain before he thinks of picking another fight.

Seriously shouldn't marines be better trained in combat than the navy?...Wait I know what happened. While he was busy saving your ass someone snuck up behind him and knocked him out with a pool stick. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Marines is a branch of the Navy....

look up the Navy SEALs, they're special warfare... A better fighting force doesn't exist in the world. They are NOT to be confused with the rest of the Navy, who, while may be extremely good at what they do, fight with their minds and technology rather than physically.

Umm. Was that supposed to be insulting? Modern warfare is mental and technological, not physical. Soldiers carry guns and GPS devices, not swords and compasses. You just made the Navy sound like the only civilized force in the military.

Actually the truth is that Navy SEAL's are highly trained spec ops. Their training is so rigorous that I believe more than 50% drop out during the first week of training. and yes you cannot just go to your local recruiting office and say, " I want to join the Navy SEAL's, you have to get transferred over there. Now the Marines are highly trained. But they are also the smallest U.S armed forces group. Interesting fact though, despite the USMC being the smallest U.S armed forces group, they actually outnumber the whole British Army. Anyway, what they lack in size they make up in skills.They are the ones that head into villages and clear them out so the Army's tanks do not get blown up. P.S., to all you people who say the USMC is worthless, Let's see the U.S Military win a war without them.

You deserve it for trying to **** with a SEAL. Marine or not, he's just infantry going toe to toe with a dude with special forces training.

If you haven't gone to basic training, you're NOT 'in' the Air Force yet. No wonder they're giving you shit.

I don't know why there's so much hoopla. Marines are as common now as army infantry. Maybe in WW2 or the korean war, Marines were a high-bred unit. Navy SEALS seem to carry the pride of special unit. But that's just me, a non-military type from the outside looking in. I know a flame will ensue, but I'm just starting an opinion, not fact, so whoever it will be don't get your panties in a twist. But the beat down I presume would be because there was more of them then the OP and his friends. "Him and his marine friend" would imply a crew of 2 for the OP, and "Navy SEALS and his friends" would imply more then 2 for the SEAL. Even if the marine had really good combat training and was holding his own against 2 guys, 1 being a SEAL even, a third guy getting in a sucker punch across the jaw would definitely drop the marine, if not for good enough that all the guys beating on him would get the upper hand.

Hey, how about acting your age? It makes me worry that such immature and ignorant douche bags are responsible for the nation's security. God help us.

Understandable. 1 Marine vs many Seals. Not a fair fight. Marines and Seals are pretty much equal.

Do you not understand navy seals are special forces and marines are pretty much the same as army infantry?

Assuming the Marine has a gun, yeah.

When someone says Marine and Army Infantry they're saying "Grunt". There is a difference but they're saying Grunt...
