but it could be used in an argument in favor of circumcision, nobody seems to ever mention it.
(I have no data for this story ... only what I've been told from first hand experience....)
I have an older friend who was a Vietnam trauma surgeon. Besides war injuries, the primary surgery he did on American GI was emergency circumcision to fix this and other jungle rot on the dick. Most GI would wait until it got 'bad' (due to embarrassment) and then it was a much more painful road to recovery.
According to him, he did 100's of these surgeries. Given that vast majority (90+%?) of US males who went into Vietnam were already circumcised, if he and the other surgeons were doing that many, one would wonder if there were many who came back uncircumcised.
From his perspective, all of this trauma was completely avoidable by a childhood circumcision.
And, to your point, after the war, no GI is going to come home and tell stories about almost loosing their dick in Vietnam from infection. So, it just doesn't get talked about.
edit: for the retards: I'm very much anti circumcision. Plenty of people live in the jungle and don't have trouble with this. Just you had American GI's without any good hygiene training living in the jungle. Only the US military can screw up and not provide dick cleaning training in basic.
Losing.
So basically because they were in a situation where thwy couldn't clean their dick it was better if they had their pens mutilated as a baby, just in case they went to war one day. Got it.
If a man takes care of his penis than it won't get infected.
You are absolutely correct. Many people live just fine in the jungle. Only US military and US GIs can screw up as bad as they did. Not surprising they lost the war given they can't even keep their own dicks clean.
Did he offer to show you how beautiful his circumsized dick was? Did he ask you if you wanted to inspect it?
Lol.
Your dick is cut. You can't allow yourself to consider that perhaps it was unnecessary. Maybe you're religious? So you've internalized this crazy story of "jungle dick" and embarrassed soldiers to feel batter about what was done to you as a child.
You should change your username to "Jungle Dick". Please do it.
They were living in the goddamn JUNGLE
