If you aren't aware, there is a group on Facebook called Dysfunctional Veterans. They have rather lively discussion and a radio show. The show and page is know for its vulgarity and "dysfunctional" ways. Question: Would you consider yourself a dysfunctional veteran, and how far should veterans take the "fun"?

I had a Dysfunctional Vet patch on my motorcycle vest before they started.
I am a member on FB and think harmless fun on the internet is fine. People with a stick up their butt don't need that FB group to have something to bitch about.

I would say to an extent I am dysfunctional. My short term memory is horrible. Sometimes I make myself numb instead of feeling the alternative.

I Swear Major, Had I KNOWN Old Age Was Going To Be Like This,
I Wouldn't Have Done It..... And Those Things I Said? ... Well,They're Absolutely True.
Unless I Look At My Computers Date Info, I Have NO CLUE What Day It Is, And Sometimes The Same For The Month... I Simply Don't Know Sh*t.
But Fortunately, I Also Don't Care. I Just Live One Day At A Time, And I DO Have A Lot Of Fun...To Keep The Laughter Down To A Rumble, They'll Have To Muffle Me From The Casket.~~ And, As General MacArthur Said "I SHALL RETURN"....
~~ 'Cauz I Ain't Done Living Yet, And I Ain't Leaving Neither.~~

I hang with the DV crew, they're a little far to the right politically speaking for me, but they're good people and it's all in good fun. No different then the smoke pit back at the bricks. Honestly? Considering how things work for other "minority" groups, with the creation of safe spaces to express themselves freely without concern for censure, I don't see why veterans shouldn't be able to throttle up and do likewise. We might step on some toes, but for the most part those toes walked into a room that isn't for them any way.
