Bigger breasts offered as perk to US soldiers

Seeing DC schools in the shape they're in and then seeing this...ugh.

They give things that include boob jobs because they train people for the real world in the army. If one of the doctors in the service is going to go into plastic surgery as his proffession, they are probably going to do boob jobs. Really though, I dont think that a lot of money is being spent here. The doctors are not getting paid extra, so it is really just cost of equpiment.

And we all know that an operation is really inexpensive once you cut out the Doctor salary. Even more so when compared to something stupid like a decent education for the youth of the nation.

All the people who are complaining about this are being dumb. Surgeons need to know this stuff to do reconstruction surgery out in the field. I'm going to repost what I said the first time in hopes some of you will get a clue.

I imagion the breast inplants are for when the female chest area is destroyed due to an explotion or shrapnal(sp?).

Psst. Lipo, facelifts and boobjobs aren't done in the field. When you're bleeding to death because your chest is half gone I'm sure the firmness and lift of your tits is the least of your worries.

No, but the skills used can be used out in the field. All the boob shit is probably just a way to get people to sign up, or do you think people would sign up for "let us shoot your nose off with a gun and get a new plastic one" day?

Before you go on, do you know anything about surgery, or it's history? Like how modern day plastic surgery evolved from reconstruction surgey of the wounded?

Reconstructive surgery has been done in the military for as long as it's been available. If someone's face is mangled due to something that happens in training or combat, I see no problem with having plastic surgeons being there to fix it up as best they can. However, the surgeons that do this kind of work need training, and since boobjobs and facelifts and such are less intensive than full-blown reconstruction, it makes sense to have it as training.

They're not giving the personel boobjobs for the hell of it, they're using the personel as guinea pigs for training surgeons. Personally, I think it makes sense... if the surgeons must practice either way, you might as well make the most of it.

IP, that is not what it is for. Those doctors are doing general procedures but the army is providing them with training for when they are released. (although they do perform reconstructive surgery when neccesary)

Although I agree that it really is not that much to be upset over. The army spends a lot more on much frivelous things than training plastic surgeons. Personally, if it is what it takes to get doctors to volunteer for the army, it is worth it. We need them.

Well I'll be damned. It does seem like a waste if they are letting them do it just for the hell of it.

I've had severial personal dealings with military surplus goods. What the military pays for most of it's stuff is insane.
