Now swearing in military training is all 2nd circuit stuff to do with anal/territorial/emotional stuff, not much of the swearing there will involve blasphemy. Fighters will always be referring to asses and faeces.
Confirming childbirth cursing will be in native tongue, been there, heard that, got the t-shirt and the selfie.

New Scientist (Paywall)

If you can't be bothered to purchase the article, the TL;DR is that curse words effect the human psyche and body in a way other words do not. In most laboratory environments it was shown that swearing triggers an adrenaline response much like the "fight or flight" response commonly known for being our basic reaction to danger. However, substitute words "fark" "frak" "frick" do not trigger similar reactions, so instead of being the impetus of an event i.e stubbing your toe, it is actually the word itself that promotes the physiological reaction.

Most notably participants were able to undergo greater pain and for longer while reporting less pain while cursing than a control group using both arbitrary words "fish" "frank" and substitutes like those listed above.

I can't find a source to cite at this time but the head of the Gestapo during WWII apparently stated that the best way to uncover a female spy is to listen to her swear during childbirth - it was purportedly always the native language.


Hence, why swearing is a part of military boot camp.


The way Drill instructors can string together a flurry of F-bombs and actually make you understand what they are saying is truly one of most humorous experiences on earth. But you rarely get a chance to laugh.

BTW Full Metal jacket doesn't do Marine Corps recruit training justice... there is way more Physical Training. (and just like Jarhead, some of the main characters are pussies)

Because female spies have a habit of getting pregnant while undercover....pun intended Twisted
