It seems like they touched a little on everything that would tick people off. My biggest complaint is making fun of PTSD. An idiot getting locked in a closet, he could have easily gotten out btw, and comparing his distress to a veteran with PTSD? There was nothing funny about this episode. Especially the closet crap.
shareWas the 9/28 episode made just to make everybody mad?
Luke and Hayley lie, cheat and steal to advance themselves while covering up negative aspects of their lives.
Well said. I agree completely. Manny running around in a miniature Fidel Castro costume was the only thing I didn't find amusing.
share<oh yeah America, everything is fair game for comedy but do not touch our dear soldiers, our heros, our whatever.
Get real people, either we make fun about everything or we don´t.

Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.
Actually, PTSD can affect people not in the military.
It is Post Traumatic-Stress Disorder. Which means any situation causing Trauma, which includes Stress, can cause anxiety reactions Post (after) the experience.
It doesn't have to be a combat situation it could be something awful happening in real life, on the street. Suppose you were a victim of a crime, it can be anything that causes that adrenaline rush of terror and panic that hangs on after the event is over. That is what PTSD is.
Phil saying they denied him because he is not in the military shouldn't be. Phil's traumatic event was not serious. But there are more situations that can cause PTSD than just military service.
Gee Woodle, Space Kadoodle!
I was referring to the OP who explicitly mentioned the veterans
...but they hung him anyway.

try and have a litte bit of graciousness.
Here is my take:
I'll support the military because we need a military. It requires someone to volunteer for duty and risk their life in ways and for reasons they don't know when they sign up. Many wars that are popular at first (Vietnam) by the end are nightmares. I'll thank people for their service, sometimes give money to wounded warriors etc because we need a military. (Which is completely unrelated to how they are used. )
However, if a veteran starts calling me a coward or talking about me as if I am less of an American, man, etc because I didn't join the service I will say worse things about him and the military then you can imagine.
They're not making fun of PTSD--they're making fun of a clown who THINKS HE HAS PTSD as the result of a not particularly traumatic experience. It's like when Phil hysterically thought he was dying. That episode wasn't "making fun" of the terminally ill.
I wish people without a sense of humor would just quit watching this show. They're the only ones getting mad here.

Its a comedy. Its just wasn't funny. You should be able to make fun of anything as long as the joke is funny.
