I've never been in a place with so much swearing - even the plumbers I once did a job for would blush.

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Quite true as there are far more ways to express ones self without the ubiquitous "F" word and several other old tired choices. Start a job around children and see how fast you have to catch yourself reverting to the poor language choices. Until you really take the time to monitor your own speech choices you really don't notice your speaking "style" and how repetitive it is.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
