In fighter squadrons in the 80s & 90s, pretty much every other word out of a fighter pilot's mouth was a cuss word. There were a few who did not cuss, but they were rare.

They were all smart men but cussing was part of the culture - as was drinking.

I don't admire cussing. Wish I hadn't picked it up. Much easier to start the habit than to lose it. But while I wish I would stop it entirely and wish others would refrain, I was immersed in it for most of my adult life. And many of those men were outstanding men, worthy of respect.

I can think of other things in the modern world that bother me much more - many of which could be fixed by making it legal to punch an asshole in the mouth!

I like the way you think!

Whatever happened to banter?
