I got a giant zit on my johnson while stationed in the ROK. (remember the Friends episode where Ross had the growth on his ass and half of the hospital was in the room viewing it?) That's what I went through. Then a Korean Dr said "(grunt)Hmmmmm, ZIT!" and popped it. They thought it was syphilis.

WooHoo...!
And to this day I still use that expression when making a point (30yr's later).

I got a shell fragment in my eye during a sniper attack. It was an egg shell fragment.

Got a Purple Heart and everything.

Wait that wasn't me that was Maj. Burns on M*A*S*H.

when i was in high school i got in a fight

i had the guy in a headlock and was going to smash the top of his head into the wall

as i jerked his head towards the wall, i accidentally smashed my own head into it first and knocked myself out for a good 20 seconds

Quoted:
What kinda combat situation we talkin' about?

any type of survival or combat situation...
[wartime, armed robbery, fighting, etc]

"Basic human pyschology" anger is more useful than despair in a combat situation
