This is kinda silly. We've watched any number of classic war documentaries without four-letter words and swearing. Some of the classic movies were made without the use of in-your-face expletives. I understand that soldiers also go to the bathroom, utilize the local whorehouses and splatter both guts and brains with bullets and bayonets. Should the camera follow them there? You may swear and curse on a reflexive basis in front of your wife, your kids, your parents and your friends. Not everyone does. And not everyone wants to hear it.

Some clever editing by the PC crowd can make this palatable for even the most delicate pantywaists in today's society.

Consider the following:

Original Sound bite:

Bataan Death March Surviver:"They gave us shit to eat. Some rancid gruel made from rice and crawling with cockroaches. The Jap bastards were slowly starving us.".

Edited for wimps:

WWII Anglo Aggressor:"They prepared us meals of rice, with an innovative source of added protein. Our Asian hosts, though being of questionable parental origin, closely rationed our portions in an effort to prevent obesity, a condition which inflicts one in three Americans.".
