curious. was the baby muslim or jewish?

curious. What makes you think only Muslims or Jews are circumcised?

My father was circumcised, at age 17, when he enlisted in the Navy during WWII.

He alway said, if I knew they were gonna do that I wouldn't have signed up.

The reason the armed forces started circumcising in the middle of the war was because of the horrors that came out of the Pacific/Asian prison camps.

The “hygiene” was non-existant and the uncircumsised suffered the most.

That is also why most (unless the parents said no) male babies born in hospitals since WW II are circumcised.
