Must men serving in the military be given a circumcision if they were uncircumcised when they enlisted?!
Question: Must men serving in the military be given a circumcision if they were uncircumcised when they enlisted.?
Just learned from a family member's mom that they chose not to have it done when the boy was born. I would never mention this to him - but would like to know if maybe one of the males in the family could offer some encouragement if he has to face this situation. Should I also post this question under "military".?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
all of the answers above are full of BS. for one they have never been in the military the way they talk. no the military dosent make you do any mods to your body. it is not part of enlisting and it isnt in the contract that a person must have this done to enlist. they did circumcision during WW 1 and 2 due to the lack of keeping them selves clean. i am in the military and know this. i do serve with someone in my unit who is lucky for him still has his foreskin.Health Question & Answer
No, that is totally false. It did happen during world war 2 to prevent infections since they would be in combat without bathing facilities for weeks at a time.
No one is forced to undergo any surgery without the persons permission.
Not is today's armed forces.
If the soldier requested a circumcision, they would definitely accommodate him.
If this young soldier is looking for for encouragement, he can look here for more information on the subject.

absolutely not, that is ridiculous, the military has taken the same stance every major medical association has that there is no benefit to do the procedure without immediate need

My DH was in the USMC for 10 years, throughout the 1990s, and still remains blissfully intact. He heard occasional "rumors" during that time that the military would require it at some point, but those rumors never came from anyone with authority and none of his superiors ever asked him to get circumcised.Health Question & Answer
no, its not a requirement to get a circumsision to join the military, trust me!

Nope.
I think they did that to some men at one time before a war, but it's definitely not the case now, and I don't think it was ever mandatory.
Most men never get circumcised.
