History of Trauma Humor in Military Culture. Trauma humor, often called "dark humor" or "gallows humor," has been a coping mechanism in military culture since ancient times, helping soldiers process the horrors of war by turning pain into laughter, as seen in WWII cartoons and Vietnam-era memes. In the U.S. military, it's prevalent among veterans dealing with PTSD, where phrases like "Thanks, it's all the trauma" playfully acknowledge the psychological scars from combat, fostering camaraderie and resilience. This t-shirt honors that tradition, using humor to raise awareness about veteran mental health and the strength born from adversity.
