In Vietnam those "bouncing Betty land mines were often used by the Viet Cong & NVA. If a soldier survived chances are he lost his dick and or balls.

Captured soldiers were also castrated and left where they could be found by their fellow soldiers. Some were even set up by Saigon Viet bar girls/whores where gangs of Viet young men would grab the horny GI and beat and rob him. Some were held down by the men as the whore would cut off his cock & balls.

In World War II the Germans developed the s-mine, sometimes called the Scho or Shoe, but more commonly known as Bouncing Betty. They were called Bouncyng Betty because they would jump up to waist level and explode...ripping off the balls. Nasty.

On Wiki:

Watch the movie "Big Red One" about the First Infantry Divison. About half way though, in Scicily, a rookie soldier gets one of his balls blown off. His Sargent calms him down by assuring him that the other one is fine and that he gets to go home. Yeah, no problem.

A lot of vets out there have lost 'em' to war.

Just like in real life, you can never know what's true, partially true or completely fabricated, unless you have personal knowledge of a person's situation.

But real or imagined, fantasy or not, it can't hurt supporting someone who claims to have had a personal trauma. Just don't give anyone money, your SSN, your driver license #, or your credit card number. The world is just crawling with charlatans and the more sincere or genuine they appear doesn't matter.

I wasnt given a choice when I had both of my testicles removed. I had the left testicle removed at age 17 upon arrival to hospital after a skate boarding accident the right testicle was removed 2 days later because of my mother. She had parental guardianship rights and the surgeon told her the right testicle was also badly damaged and that if it didn't heal might need removal, well my mother decided seeing I was already in hospital it would be best to remove it now rather than wait and see to avoid further trauma later. After some discussion the surgeon agreed only to examine it and I was taken and put to sleep only when i woke it became apparent the testicle had been removed.

That sounds a little like my situation.....only my wife was more or less in charge at the time. Actually I was flown to a trauma center so I don't really think she had much input.

I was in a motorcycle crash which caused some severe trauma downstairs. From what I was told later, one was actually removed by the crash, the other was badly damaged and removed at the hospital.

All I can say is thank God I was unconcious, I woke up 8 days later and the deed was done. But at least I made it to 42!!

Like you I'd prefer to have them back, things were simpler and cheaper!!
