Interesting thought Peter. I really enjoyed the programme and look forward to the rest of the series.
I think you're right in that the use of that language probably wouldn’t be as acceptable anywhere else. But it’s the army.
My dad was an old Para and I hold dear to my heart some of his fantastic, expletive laden diatribes. And anyone that’s got in a car with me behind the wheel will know I’m my father's daughter. It may not be big or clever but personally I don’t find it offensive and very much enjoy a creative, sweary outburst.
I should think any recruit who isn’t used to being around that sort of language would find it a shock to start with but would get used to it pretty quickly.
