The point is not profanity, the point is STRESS.

One purpose of recruit training is to STRESS THE HELL out of the coddled darlings.

If an individual is prone to crack under pressure, we would like to see it at the recruit depot - where the failure is manageable.

If a recruit doesn’t have the right stuff, you cut your losses and let them go. You don’t want this coddled individual to get deep into a training cycle - or worse a combat situation - and find that they are unfit.

Why? I thing the answer is obvious...
