WASHINGTON -- Sick of fielding questions about PTSD and what it's like to kill someone? Your fellow veterans feel your pain.

A group of young veterans posted a humor video playing off the popular "s*** people say" meme to poke fun at the uninformed and sometimes offensive comments many veterans regularly hear from their civilian friends. The video has already gained cult status among military blogs, topping 50,000 views in less than 48 hours.

You can see the video over at YouTube. Warning for the faint of heart: It contains some naughty words.

What the heck is a Ruptured Duck?
