Yeah, 'cause we all know sailors, soldiers and Marines never, ever cussed in real life!

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.

"And not everyone wants to hear it."

So don't watch it.

And as for the "Would Ken Burns want our children watching it?" question posed by another poster - given the subject matter...probably not. If a kid hasn't heard the F-bomb before, he's too young to watch what an A-Bomb does. That's not an anti-nuke sentiment, btw...just common sense.
