Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army


NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan "Be All You Can Be," but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers' dime.

The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.

"Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off.

Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said.

The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, "the surgeons have to have someone to practice on."

Does this include phallus reduction?

Since the the very phalic nature of my Warrior posturing threatens those in the chain of command, and marital trust from the wife.

This is for the Army gals who want to upgrade from 105mm to 155mm. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Or increased tankage from lights to heavies for Air Force?

I can just imagine the confusion on a sailor's face as he discovers the rip-ties for the bigger, better, pneumatically actuated "personal flotation devices" on his co-service date.

Well, morale HAS been lagging in the military... <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I can see offering things like nose jobs, scar removal, and to an extent facelifts, but I don't really see a good enough connection between boob jobs and lipo, and proficiency at reconstructive surgery. This sounds like FW&A, and an open invitation for someone to make a bad decision. Asking for time off work to go get a boob job just doesn't seem terribly proffessional. I can't see how it would possibly help your career.

It is our new moral boosting method for our generals while instilling envy the world over.

I can see it now at a nato conference near you. so what our privates tits are bigger firmer and perkier than you. Our new anti terrorism plan is flash the car bombers as they drive by so they hit the breaks to look. As they dot the Delta will kill the driver.

Jesus Fucking Allah - you have got to be fucking joking! If this was't the surest damned excuse to get women out of the military all-to-fucking-gether I don't know what is.

This makes me fucking puke!

I can see it now a class action lawsuite based on sexual discrimination for penial enlargment. Who sets the standards if you qualify? lol

Facelifts and fake tits?

OMG.

Lipo actually makes sense....losing all the fat would make a fat soldier a less fat soldier.

Always a good thing.

GO TO A VA HOSPITAL

AND LOOK AT THE FOLKS AWAITNG TO SEE A SURGEON OR BETTER YET A GENERAL PRACTICE DR.
IF THEY WANT TO PRACTICE,START ON THOSE VETS WHO ARE COVERED WITH SCARS AND BURNS OR MISSING PARTS ETC.....OR ANY DEPENDENT WHO NEEDS SURGERY FOR BIRTH DEFFECTS OR ACCIDENTS
AFTER THEY FIX EVERYONE UP THEN THEY CAN PRACTICE FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE IN THE CIVILIAN LIFE!

PRESS TO TEST

A chiefs question, "Should I get liposuction, or schlong enlargement? Shit I just wan't to see my dick again. Seeing my boots would be a bonus!
Boob jobs for everyone! Morale goes up, the tit's themselves are cheap, the surgeon is getting paid either way, and I sure like boobies! Hell, I may get a set implanted in my hands just so I can walk around feeling tits all day. Pocket pool would rock!

Goose- you hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what they should be doing, not offering boob jobs. There is no reason for any woman, especially a woman in the military, to need a boob job. And especially not when there are plenty of veterans who would be much more justified in receiving surgery.

BigVette, I think I missed your comment the first time around. I'm curious about your connection between this and getting women out of the military altogether. How so?

I see. So it's not so much 'cause and effect' as it is 'cause for desire.'

Hey I would understand this in the navy, where they could be justified as floatation devices.
