Running the risk of a real thread in the suggestions box...we use "vulgar" language because it's expressive. Vulgarity, contrary to the beliefs of prudish moralizers..is an indication of verbal fluency - of competency and intelligence.
On the internet...where there is no tone or visual prompting to impart the sorts of things common to "normal" conversation..vulgarity does double duty.
"These vicars!"
"These fucking vicars!"
One is ambiguous, and so..inept. I suppose we could type out "These [shakes head slowly while making disparaging glances towards the heavens] vicars!"..but, you know....a certain four letter word exists. The vicars (and people who like vicars) might predictably consider this pointless vulgarity and unbecoming and on and on and on..but..these fucking vicars...right?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
