re: Webb quote flap -- Cultural context
Customs involving parental mouth to penis contact with young sons are common in several non-western cultures. I can think of Inuit, New Guinea and some Asian cultures. I have never heard of this custom in Vietnam but it didn't surprise me to read. I am certain this is something Webb really saw in Vietnam and if so it was surely known of as a custom to many other service people, a fact that will come out in due course.

Speaks for itself!
