During the Vietnam War, many soldiers got infections in their testicles, often leading to amputation.

So you are telling me there's a scrotum museum?

As funny as that would be, no.

It's a museum that has exhibits on the USMC and the wars they fought in, such a Vietnam, Korea, and Iraq.

For the non Americans, USMC stands for Uncoupled Scrotum Missing in Combat.

MCRDSD is the Museum of Chopped, Removed and Detached Scrotum on Display. It’s a great museum. Wonderful exhibits but everything smells of formaldehyde.

All marines visit the MCRD museum before leaving bootcamp, I think during the last week of training.

Banging all the prostitutes they came across probably gave them the diseases. Not to mention all the village rapes that happened during Vietnam war and the American fathered children left behind when USA left Vietnam.

You might enjoy reading "What Soldiers Do" - I think you might appreciate the read, you seem well-informed.

Its a tough fucking read, btw.
