During OIF our bomb hits were digitized and sent to the CAOC daily. That tape could be seen by damn near anyone, up to and including the CENTAF/CC or higher.
The Wing CC at the 'Deid did not appreciate the "die motherf*cker" comments on the tapes, and apparently he'd heard from his superiors about it. Crap rolls downhill, as you can imagine.
I find it's smarter to not bypass the opportunity to keep your mouth shut and let your good work on the film speak for itself, rather than having to explain yourself to anyone.
Besides, any time you're talking in the cockpit, you are comm-jamming your radios and the RWR, both of which are higher priority than anything you have to say into your tape while in Indian territory.
