Profanity - there are times when it is inescapable, especially in military sci fi. Stars (***) have been used.
Violence - kept to the absolute minimum required by the story line, no gratuitous violence.
Sex - adult relationships outside of matrimony are alluded to. In certain circumstances, it is essential to show pickup scenes, to portray the angst the characters are dealing with, but this has been kept to a minimum. There are no direct sex scenes.

This blog in neither for nor against any political organization, religion or ethnic group. The sole purpose is entertainment.

All of this is a work of imagination, along the lines of historical fiction. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely accidental. It is not autobiographical. Certain historical events did indeed occur, similar to how I described them, but not with the characters I invented. As for any friends who might think they see themselves portrayed herein, it simply is not so.
