Before jumping into the "he writes homosexual, underage incest" bandwagon, shouldn't we be trying to find out if such a "greeting" was a rural Vietnamese custom that Webb might have actually witnessed in the 1960's?

Hey, Son! How was school today? Now come over here and let me s&*% on that d*&%.

In the Middle East, the locals have pretty damn weird customs, don't they?

Let us have an actual Iraq War veteran witness such an act:

Let's have that same Iraq War veteran write an Iraq War novel 20 years later and describe exactly what he saw with his own eyes in regards to the conduct of the locals.

"As we burst into the house, we saw a 13 year old boy with his uncle on top of him ....."

Question: Does that make the soldier writing his novel based on what he actually witness in Iraq a purveyor of underage incest?

As the interview plays out, it seems that such conduct did occur in the Vietnamese countryside and, IMHO, it is not a wise course to label a highly decorated combat veteran as a ( fill in the pervert adjectives here ) for writing about what he saw with his own eyes in a combat zone.
