The New York Times reports that Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland has decided to perform up to 60 penis transplants on "men injured in combat."
The operation is experimental, and only two previous attempts have been reported: an unsuccessful one in China, and a successful one in South Africa. Because the procedure is so rare, the medical team will be seeking explicit consent from the families of organ donors, who may not have contemplated the use of their penises in this manner. One physician noted that, should the transplantation program meet with success, there will be interest in the surgery by transgender people.
A Department of Defense database shows that "from 2001 to 2013, 1,367 men in military service suffered wounds to the genitals in Iraq or Afghanistan."

Sometimes the Soylent people ask what they should do to make the site better...
This is one of them: a vote if a statement is a fundamental truth, and if yes, it can not be modded down.
If the statement is not a fundamental truth, than the opposite is correct: u should fuck around on all places on the planet and complain about retribution.
So, I ask u motherfuckers: is the anon correct or not? (no, it's not me, i don't post anon)
Anyways, anon, I tried to keep u afloat :DDD
PS: No, u did not save europe. U saved jews. A lot of us, who are not communists are actually nazis.
U murdered ur own soldiers for the drunkard Churchill. Morons.
