Thank you for your post. My wife and I were discussing whether or not that generation (fathers/uncles) used the "F" word as liberally as it is used today. The answer is no. My generation used it all the time, but that was a made-for-TV war. On the other hand, the "N" word was used but our revisionist history, as written by Hollywood, would never admit that happened.

Talk to some teenagers sometime. You will discover that they are totally unaware that F*** and S*** were once simply not heard on American streets, in stores, on the radio and TV. They were heard only in pool halls and some lower-class bars, and other more disreputable places. There probably WERE many soldiers who went through WWI and even WWII without saying these words. Americans under 40 or so simply have no idea of the horror with which previous generations of Americans viewed four-letter words.
