Fall of Saigon Syndrome

APR is not only the World's best blogger but APR is a world renowned medical expert. APR will release APR's study on the mental disorder know as "Fall of Saigon Syndrome" (FoSS) in the next few blog entries or until APR gets tired and finds another topic to write about.

The medical term is ematologic-gastrointestinal-hemorrhage-epilation-hypotension-dehydration or "Fall of Saigon Syndrome" for short or FoSS for those who have to write a blog about it.

What is FoSS? Well the over the next several blogs APR will go over all the major characteristics of the psychological disorder of FoSS. Sadly there is no known cure for FoSS but with knowledge, education and research you might be able to live with someone who has FoSS.

The first part of the FoSS blog series, APR will go over the abnormal conditions that make up FoSS so that you might be able to spot someone suffering from FoSS.

The definition of FoSS is a classification of unstable reactions to any threat or circumstances that require movement of large groups of family members is a short period of time, normally due to lack of planning, preparation, or the illogically and idiotic belief that an army that couldn't fight without the overwhelming support of the United States can stand up to a determined, highly trained, and better equipped army that has built an intricate tunneling system. This is evident mostly in South Vietnamese men who tried to get their entire family out of South Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon. Hence the common term "Fall of Saigon Syndrome".

FoSS is not limited to just people of South Vietnamese decent. Oh no. It can be spread to any race and ethnicity who has suffered natural and/or man made disasters that required a large migration of the local population to a foreign land. Such as the Israelites, Pilgrims, Irish, and most recently the people of New Orleans.

These unstable reactions include but is not limited to the following:

1. The need to have as many family members within a 5 block distance to better facilitate quick organization and movement.
2. Carrying large amounts of diamonds and gold because diamonds and gold can be traded for supplies and used to transfer wealth to the next country that they flee too.
3. The uncontrollable urge to make all the family members travel and sleep together.
4. Sudden and quick planning along with sudden and quick changes to the plan to fool who ever might try and follow.
5. A lot of screaming and yelling with uncontrollable body movements.
6. Abandoning sick, old and young people who cannot keep up with the escape.
7. All actions must be a reaction without any preconceived objective and/or logical progression of though.
8. An outdated address book made up of acquaintances of friends of distant family members who might have known someone near where ever you might go too.

There is only 8 right now but APR would like you the members of the APR Nation to add more so that we can fully understand FoSS.

The next blog will update the list along with have helpful tips on dealing with someone who has FoSS.
