Funny thing, before I went in as a teenager, I didn't swear that much, even in high school. I had been raised to be better then that.
I because prodigious at swearing by the time I finished my basic training and went through "Infantry school". In fact I became so good at it, that I was using swearing without even thinking about it. I just liberally sprinkled it in on everything I did. I remember I went to a family dinner and half way through telling a story, I looked around the table and to a person my three sisters and my mom and dad (Who I already was in the rocky relationship stage) had their jaws on the floor. I had weaved my tale with so many S and F and M bombs that I'm sure every third word was something that wasn't needed.
It ramped way up when I went and took my JLC, and then came back and became a basic training instructor and formed a opposser squad.
(That was the most fun I ever had by the way. We went to Crown Surplus and bought these cammo coveralls. Bought white T-Shirts and died blue stripes into them and bought these black berets and became an elite Naval Infantry Unit from Kaplakastan.) anyways, I upped the swearing game there.
When I left the Military it was like quitting smoking where you had to self filter the casual swears out of the conversation.
Anyways, Swearing is a long and honorable tradition in the Armed Forces, and you can bet that those farm boys, and boys with low educations in WW2, were most excellent at putting together strings of swearing. Even an officer and a gentlemen when they got into the field or battle were dropping succinct motivating Bombs.
