Little preface: a certain E7 decided to make hundreds of these stickers telling everyone to sticker bomb our MOB site, and now there are mugs being laser engraved with this logo as well as stickers all over an undisclosed location in the desert. My question is how does a meme like this really affect a units ability to stay resilient if our senior leadership is smearing the motto of "this is some red bullshit happening here", referring to how much it sorta sucks here (its not that bad). As a junior nco I dont like seeing this being the motto of our upcoming deployment, to me it shows our senior leadership has given up on caring here and it surely shows seeing peoples attitudes towards the little things we have to do here.

I think it is very unprofessional and in poor taste. I have cussed only one time in my career. This would be cussing moment for me. He showed poor judgement for a senior NCO and I would have made him remove all the stickers.

I have to go with https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/794832-col-jim-harmon on the cursing thing. I think you had to qualify expert in that field to be in combat arms.

One of my drill sergeants didn't swear. Everyone was egghead. Wish I could remember his name. I know all of my drill sergeant's names, just don't remember which name went with which one. Now me, I still swear like the proverbial sailor. Clean it up at work though.

I had one who was from a different country. His favorite saying was I will put my dick in your mouth. Really this is true.

I had one that was from a different country also (the southern US counts as a different country right?) He would always threaten to pop out your eye and skull fuck you. The non-swearing one was the most intimidating. It could also be that I came from a very rural area in the Northwest and had never even seen a black man in person until then. He was also very, very big! The only black person I had met prior to that was Mrs. Thomas, my 4th grade teacher. To this day one of my favorite teachers.
