Is anyone else having flashbacks tonight with all the fireworks? I might start freaking for real if this goes on all night.

No, because I'm not a fucking pussy.
I understand that they are fireworks, not the sound of gunshots and mortars blowing up my platoon.

I know man but it's just a shitty feeling. I'm just chilling in my room and as soon as the sun goes down a bunch of booms and pops start going off.

My grandpa was a fycking combat engineer. First wave at Normandy. Survived the war. Was a champion trap shooter. Loved fireworks. What the hell happened to this generation.

Maybe get some fireworks and join in.
Maybe throw bottlerockets with the neighbor kids.
Maybe drink a little and put the earplugs in.
The county I'm in sounds like motherfucking small arms forever.

Thank you for saying this. My POS VFW or American Legion mag (I don't recall) was touting places to go for noiseless July 4th weekends. I thought to myself, who could be a bigger fucking pussy?

I'm getting flashbacks to when I was 8 and my dad took me to a baseball game on the 4th, but that's about it.
Mental stability is fun.

I never got this meme, fireworks sound nothing like artillery
I can't fucking stand self centered veterans who try to trick civilians into feeling pity to them and giving them money for nothing

Funker530 just had a great post about this subject.
My neighbors have fireworks, I have MRE bombs. I make the boom without the flash.
What about the men that have to be up at 5am for work tomorrow. trippple time.

Roger that, brother. I often wondered who in the hell was making that claim.

Funny, if my neighbor was courteous with his fireworks, I'd take it to mean he either invited me over or stopped and gave me some of his trunk full.

No. I'm not a faggot.
I got mortared on a near daily basis for months. Fireworks sound nothing like incoming fire.

Drive out to the country and take a nap. Cop asks what you're doing out there, tell him the truth; that the noise of fireworks freaks you out so instead of shitting al over everyone else's parade, you removed yourself from it for a while.

Yes, all mentally ill people are completely sane. Maybe, they are actually mentally ill.
