The following insane story is true and taken from the MSN home page....

REUTERS: Bigger breasts offered as perk to U.S. soldiers
Plastic surgery available on taxpayers' dime
Updated: 10:34 a.m. ET July 22, 2004

NEW YORK - The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan тАЬBe All You Can Be,тАЭ but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayersтАЩ 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.

тАЬAnyone wearing a uniform is eligible,тАЭ 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, тАЬthe surgeons have to have someone to practice on.тАЭ

You mean, there aren't enough people who pay out of their own pocket to be practiced on? Discount for trainee-doc?

Yes, they do need practice, esp the docs who do reconstructive or corrective, and I can almost make a case for liposuction in some cases [1], but breast implants? And a bit off the hips?

Not in my books.

[1] when there's a real weight problem, and other things have been tried, and it's accompanied by serious therapy and monitoring. And implants after removal -- maybe, but I've heard enough horror stories where they used a legit service, I'd rather the patient wait a year and see if she can get used to the alternatives.

What kind of crap is that? Fark me sideways.

And this is the same country where folks are denied morning after pills on the grounds of their doctor's and pharmacist's ' religious' moral standards? *snort snicker* doh!

Thanks George Bush and Co., for the consistant high fiber messages!

*Buffy falls out of her chair laughing...with no breast augmented bounceback.*

No augmentation, Buffy?

Thought you did yours the old fashioned way? Fill-em up good, till they're ready to explode and ache like the worst zit you've ever had, then try and get the kid to drain them without falling asleep. All this after 24 hours of trying to get the kid out.

Ah, the things we do for the family.

I can't decide if that's a hairpiece on that smilie, or if it's a prone body, head on picture of me with a big round mu-mu clad belly.... Note the tiny titties...or are those glasses? (Optical illusion flip-o art at its best)

If it is me...I see the rumor is true: Pregnancy swelling causes pointy-head. Big Grin

Oh, man, hadn't see that image that way at all, Buffy.

But, you're the artist, so you're more likely to see the proper view than I.

okay i am going to say what i said on the other site about this.
I can't get this image out of my head of us winning the war due to the fact that they sent a bunch of female GI's out to the front line and all they did was lift their shirts!

Join the army, see the world...

Join the army, have an exciting career...

Join the army, we'll grow your norks...

As a slogan, it makes perfect sense. Isn't there some problem with really big silicone ones on planes, or is that an urban myth? If it's true, I assume they'd set limits on the size of implants for air crew?

Maybe part of the liposuction thing is to make sure people fit into standard size uniforms after all those McDonalds lunches?

One size fits all huh? Like to see the Army try to convince the guys on that one! Might cause a drop in the number of males signing up.
