Today, I twisted my knee while cutting firewood with my grandpa. The pain was so crippling, I fell over screaming. His response? "Quit your bitching, I had my kneecaps blown off in Vietnam. They had to stitch 'em back on." He's never been to Vietnam, or even out of the country. FML

Today, I was hiking with my uncle. We were going down a slope, and I kept slipping. He jokingly pushed me just as we approached a big drop. I ended up with three fractured ribs. FML

Today, I came home from the army and explained to my family how tough it was there. Then, as I was walking away, I stubbed my toe on the couch, fell and cried. FML

Today, I bit into a barbecue-ed corn cob, forgetting I had a filling on my chipped front tooth. I re-chipped it. FML

why is this an FML so what If he has flashbacks. He has been through things you have never seen and done things you have never done and he did it all for you and the rest America.

Wow! He needs to go to a doctor and talk about his issues. You might have you mother or father talk to him about getting some help.

When your job is to gun down villages that have a "suspected" enemy presence from a mounted machine gun on a helicopter, but the village contains innocent men, women, and children who are getting shot up by you, that's not an experience a doctor will be able to make you cope with just fine and dandy. Or at all.

yes there is . the military is now starting to understand PTSD and are trying to help soldiers coming back from wars to help them cope and return back to living as a civilian and helping them and their families understand the emotional stress that the men and women went thru fighting so that the families and children of the soldier can live in peace at home without any tension .

58 just got pwned
aardvarkish 17
58 has a point. Fortunately, the movie Full Metal Jacket was fiction, so the soldier in 58's "Get some" scenario doesn't exist.

I didn't get owned you idiot. He said the military is starting to understand PTSD now, not the military understood how to treat it back in the years of Vietnam. They didn't know how to effectively treat it back then. My description wasn't based on Full Metal Jacket; it's reality, taken from my next door neighbor who's a Vietnam veteran. My uncle, who is also a Vietnam vet, and one of my father's friends who's a 'Nam vet as well confirmed that stories like my neighbor has told me are reality, and situations like that actually happened many times.

Post traumatic stress syndrome.... Dumbass.

Some people can't help that and it may be related to PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder. and, it takes a lot to get through that.

Idea for a new TV show? Get nutters from different wars and pit them against each other in a cage fight to a soundtrack of machine gun fire.

if you have a cracked rib, why aren't you at the hospital, eh?

exactly! too bad all my respect for you flew out the window when I saw your username.

Hospitals can't do all that much for ribs, can't be bandaged. Hurts to breath, and you let ribs heal naturally.

mobile? or computers at the hospital, I dunno I'm trying.

Tthe hospital probably told him he had a cracked rib but there's not much they can do for it except send you home with pain meds...

f your uncles life. he was the one who went to Vietnam and saw all the horrors of war. Not only that but when he got home he wasn't respected as he should of been.
cherry72 13
I agree. not many people on FML are old enough to know that. this is just a bad situation all the way around.

F both their lives. It's true enough that Vietnam vets (all vets), after having served their country, come back to an unwelcoming country that's not well equipped to reintroduce them into regular society. Mental health services are frowned upon, etc. The families they come back to basically have to cope with the PTSD themselves. The VA just doesn't offer enough services to help, and while there are support groups, a lot of vets wont go to them.
