At The Concert for Valor this Veteran’s Day, Eminem swore like a sailor. He dropped several F-bombs onstage (and on-air), setting the broadcast and digital media worlds on fire.

Last night, talk show host Conan O’Brien commented on how offensive Eminem’s use of profanity was considering his audience:

“Yesterday in Washington, D.C., Eminem was criticized for dropping multiple F-bombs during a concert for veterans,” he said.

“Yeah, it’s the first time soldiers in the military have been exposed to bad language.”

Conan poked fun at how critics went after Eminem for swearing in front of members of the military, whom are apparently notorious for their regular use of profanity. 

“They were horrified. Hardcore marines! Guys that have done four tours of duty in Afghanistan…

"‘No! That’s a horrible word! What does it mean?’”
