actually circumcision for babies is rare, they just don't do it. Boys don't get circumcised until they are about to entire the military from what I hear. Our son isn't and we've decided that we're not going to. I've read a bunch of articles on how it's actually it's not necessary and very painful for them

Oh really? What I read was very misleading.

I would think it would be worse to be circumcised right before military service, though. I mean, military service is horrible enough as it is.
