Obviously swearing is a big thing, but not when leading. You'll have exceptions with some of the line units of course, but that's a culture that won't change.

If I saw one of my squad leaders cursing at someone for doing something dumb, then I'd know that supposed leader just failed that Soldier. At ease those emotions, get your point across, and hold them accountable. If you can't do that without throwing a hissy fit, take off those stripes.

There is a difference between swearing and having, as you put it, a hissy fit. Not all swearing is demeaning behaviour, and plenty of people lose their shit without swearing (oops I said shit).
