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."

Wow, another idiotic post with no thought behind it.

The military needs plastic surgeons. They need them to do reconstructive work on soldiers who are disfigured. Most would agree this is OK.

Part of being a plastic surgeon is board certification. In order to get board certified, you actually have to DO some plastic surgery.

Because plastic surgeons are the highest paid docs, the military has to offer them an incentive to serve. The incentive is, "you'll get board certifiedalong with your peers".

Thus, the availability of plastic surgery to the military.

Now you know. And you won't walk around sounding like a schmuck. Well, on this topic anyway.

For what it is worth, soldiers have to provide their own implants.

You are one condescending mofo. All the man did was post up a link to an article. At no point did he give his opinion behind it, yet you called him idiotic and a shmuck.

It amazes me that it took the media this long to catch on to this.
Back when I was serving a bunch of guys under me got lazer tattoo removal and one female got a nose job.

Note that I called his post idiotic and said he sounds like a schmuck.

In keeping with the theme, I suppose I should say you are being excessively inattentive.

I don't think DT was making a statement other than his appreciation of a fine set of boobz...

As opposed to your idiotic posts WITH thought behind them?
