Best version of the best movie of all time. So happy you brought this reference up!

BTW, on the swearing in books topic: I rather like it if the story or characters call for its usage.
The OP said he wrote about soldiers and knew soldiers swear around each other a lot, but he chose to censor his own writing to be kinder to readers. Sounds like compromising the reality of how you know them to act in real life, bro. If that is fine with you, then it's OK, but if your intention was to depict the reality as you know it to be, then a writer should not have to fear reader backlash for being true to the material. It just weeds out the readers who would not appreciate your work.
