Ed,

I respectfully disagree with you & others on that.
When you call a groups of people as "shitload",
it obviously denigrates that particular group.

I haven't heard any G.I.s speaking of
a "shitload" of Americans. We would have been
offended by hearing such a remark.

There is no reason why we should repeat such jokes at this time.
And it doesn't serve any useful purpose for our discussion of
the war, unless we want to discuss the issue of racisim in
the war.
