+1.
I never was in the service, but I come from an "enviroment" where portraying yourself to be something you are not is unacceptable, leads to consequences and hell, the patches are even protected by a copyright...
Wich leads me to ask: how is it that anybody can get at the DMV a 10th mountain division license plate without having served in it???
Respectfully disagree. Language, in and of itself, does not possess any inherent evil or "badness". Rather it is what's in one's heart that establishes intent. For example, one may say to another "bless your heart" but secretly hold ill-will against the person to whom they are speaking. Meanwhile, a friend may jokingly call another "a dumb sumbitch". Which of these statements reveals the true heart of the speaker? Law of Nature, meanwhile, makes it pretty clear that homosexuality is an aberration of normal behavior. So to compare language and homosexuality as being on the same moral scale is incorrect, I think.
To me, these guys simply put the fear of God in the dude. Perhaps he'll think twice before putting that tab on next time he heads out the door.
Finally, found a good quote by Patton on use of language.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember."
Remark to his nephew about his copious profanity, quoted in "The Unknown Patton" (1983) by Charles M. Province, p. 184
I see mother wrong with his actions. I would have torn shit off. But then I'm not known for my patience
I have many times put the "fear of god" in someone with out violence or swearing. Swearing is not required for that. This is not to say that I don't swear. I do. Typically at customers cars. But I don't in front of a customer. It is called self discipline.
I have been out with some guys and we were cussing while we talked to each other. Then a family sat next to us. So when I noticed them coming over to sit I told the rest of the guys "Family show now" and the swearing stopped.
There is a time a place for cussing and swearing. One of the times that it is not appropriate is when you are chewing on someone. Don't care if he is a poser or not. Still not appropriate.
