“In other news, the US Navy just announced that it is banning swearing and foul language at its training facilities (per Navy Times).”

As a former drunken teen-age sailor (1962-1965) let me say that a US Navy that bans foul language makes as much sense as a construction company that bans concrete. How are you going to hold anything together? We have Marines marrying Marines with nary a woman involved but we forbid a little cussing? This country is no longer fit for any real young man to serve. I advise any young man who should ask me to stay away from the current military.
Let me get this straight, any sailor who “cusses like a sailor” is now to be brought up on charges?
Some used to say that the typical Navy man had the cleanest body and the dirtiest mind of any serviceman. Now I suppose he is expected to have the most perverted body and mind but he can’t say anything worse than , “Golly Gee Whiz, Batman”?
Is that even allowed?
Hmmm...wonder what will constitute “foul language”....
