Report: Bigger breasts offered as perk to soldiers
 
Boy oh boy, I love what they do with my tax dimes.

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.

If the surgeons need "practice," why would you even want them to operate on you? Why not practice on the plastic surgery junkies like Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers, the living Barbie doll beeyotch, et al?

This **** pisses me off....

"Hey Honey...
 
I can get that bigger schlong that you always wanted and you can in return get those puppies enlarged to a 38KKK size cup...

Ah honey, Trust me...Joining the US Army & then goin' over seas to fight for our country will be worth it..."

What a sack of crap...As for those of us who know about how the US Army recruits I will use the following abbreviation:

F.T.A.

I was really disappointed about a couple years ago wehn Deb went to donate blood (As a nurse she felt a need to help, And after her illness it seemed to come back to her) and saw many US Army soldiers donating plasma for cash because they werent receiving enough pay to get by...Whatta a steaming pile of BS!!!

Sick, Ab-so-lute-ly SICK!!!

Hey, when the Commander In Chief is a big boob...

The thread title made me think of 16 Candles - "And they're SO perky!" :lol:

Maybe this can be a new reality series. GI Swan. :rolleyes:

This was my first thought, too. So many military families are scrimping & couponning, & the government will give up the $ for this crap?

Not to mention all the people that live in this country that have little to no health insurance that barely cover the cost of medication let alone actual surgeries that are needed. But sure, join the military and get a set! :rolleyes:

Why should I enlarge it, the only time it shrivels is in cold water or when I read your posts. ;) :p :lol:

Hmm...didn't know there was something to make smaller. :shrug: Glad to know I have that effect on you. ;) :p

estranged4life 07-22-2004 07:19 PM

What I think sucks...
 
is that Deb's insurance provider will not pay for her to have a "fatty tumor" removed from her upper left shoulder/neck area (I think the medical term is either "lipoma" or "lypoma") since it would be considered a cosmetic procedure...But yet our "much loved" government is giving access to free cosmetic surgeries?

Man, Since those government asses are in such a giving mood why don't they give free enema's to those in Congress & the Senate...And don't forget Shrub & his Dick, I mean his VP Dick...
