When was the last time you over-heard an ER doctor using profanity on the job? A fireman? A soldier? You can listen to our soldiers communicating to HQ, while under fire, and not listen to profanity.

What an amazing fantasy. You must watch a lot of television.

Yeah, when I was in ER with my wife; I didn't hear any profanity issued by a single MD. When I was in for surgery, I never once heard a nurse, MD or techican utter a single profanity - so I must be unique.

What branch of the Military did you serve with? Did you use profanity in your radio communications? Must have been some 'group'.

USMC Articles 117 and 134 govern such language. Section 917, Article 117 states: “Any person subject to this chapter who uses provoking or reproachful words or gestures towards any other person subject to this chapter shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Section 934, Article 134 states: “Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces … shall be punished at the discretion of that court.”

But, I guess I must be living in a fantasy, watching TV.
