Knowing the VA, they'll probably install it in back by mistake.

Failing that, with all the transgendered bullshit in the military, can they start a "genitalia exchange pool" for those who wish to change genders?

Does the donor have to adhere to race?

Will this just be decorative, or will he be a working stiff?

Other countries have done this for years. It is a shame we are one of the last modern countries to offer this for our servicemen.

You know, if Bubba Klinton really wanted to show support for our troops, he'd take him "on tour" with him and act as his wingman to break it in.

I'm sure if it requires a transplant, whatever he receives will be an upgrade.

Now, bionics.....well, that's another story......

At least they’re not doing this at the VA.
Talk about Government Issue.

I didn't know this surgery had been accomplished elsewhere.

But you are absolutely correct. This is an important surgery.

Whether it "works" or not, I don't know. But it is still important that it be there. I've read reports that losing the most basic, primal evidence of manhood is more devastating than the loss of an arm or leg.

These soldiers deserve everything we can do for them, and they don't deserve jokes.

Congressional males are the sole supplier. They seem not to need to need them.
