Tragic that any soldier should be injured this way. I hope the surgery works out for him with no complications.

Come on you all refrain from the jokes! This is a soldier after all. He gave...A LOT for us.

Maybe they need to do this surgery for Bradley Manning because he seems to be lacking down there before he entered the military!

Man I sure hope it works for him and I hope he got a decent sized one

I know except for Size Queens that it doesn’t matter that much but they can be too small women have always admitted

I cannot imagine losing that ability of my life

This is amazing

A young man needs that ..

Hell old men do too just slightly less frequently

Morgana thanks for being a sympathetic girl

Damn right he gave a lot

Only thing more coulda given is his life....and for some it might be worse especially at that age

If I could have had a life of intimacy with your gender I just can’t. Imagine living through that

Just glad he got his body part back. Now like I said, maybe do this for Bradly Manning? He seems to be coming up short or just MIA.

octors used the entire penis and scrotum (minus the testicles)

Admit to being mystified at this choice. Why bother with the bag if the marbles are not in it?

Wait what? I thought that numerous female to male sex reassignments had already occurred. This would suggest that those surgeries were less than what we were led to believe.

“Admit to being mystified at this choice. Why bother with the bag if the marbles are not in it?”

Because the testicles would produce the DNA of the doner. That means any “issue” to use the Biblical phrase, would, technically, be the child of a dead man.
