Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army

Jul 22, 9:15 AM (ET)

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."

Perhaps what we need is not so much an intelligence czar as a financial iron fist. Be on the look out for outcry over "defense" spending.

That's good. Big tits on female soldiers. Very sexy.

What we need is an intelligence czar of the IQ variety. A person who takes a look at government policies and has the power to say, "Hold on a second. That's just plain stupid," and abort the relevant guilty govt program.
