But Twain has a different take:

In the military, as Seahawk can tell you, swearing by officers in front of enlisted is a crime under the Joint Ethics Regulations. I didn't know that as a Company Grade officer leading infantrymen, and I'm glad....more glad that the men didn't know. I'm more refined now, not due to JER, more due just to maturity.
