I don't think these are for the solidiers but their "dependants"; nothing like returning home from a long deployment in the war zone to two (2) new friends courtesy of the Federal Government! It's all part of the new Army!
If you're willing to risk getting a facelift from an Army doctor, then have at it. On a side note, the military is paying for corrective eye surgery now. I know a few people who've taken advantage of that.
Sorry, but I'm offended to know that my tax dollars are being spent to give soldiers boob jobs and liposuction.
Do you even read the stories? Please stop wasting everyone's time by replying to things that you don't know about.
Actually, I think it's a brilliant counter-terrosism ploy. First, suck in the sexually-repressed Islamic terrorists. Then BLAMMO!
But are the taxpayers "paying" for this extra surgery? It's not af if they're going out and hiring civilian plastic surgeons, then billing the government. Do Army surgeons get paid more for these operations or do they earn the same pay no matter what kinds of work they do?
The most chilling part for me is that the purpose of allowing these surgeries is to give the doctors a chance to "practice" the procedures. Cripes. Going to a dental school to get cheap root canals is one thing. Letting someone cut up your face and your titties is something else entirely.
And I'm sure it's incredibly necessary that Army surgeons practice, practice, practice, in order that they maintain top-notch skills at performing LIPOSUCTION!!!!!
I'm a whole lot more pissed about the billions of dollars being wasted in Iraq than I am over a few stupid boob jobs. I dunno. Maybe living in DC has made me sort of immune to outrage over a few tens of thousands of tax dollars going to waste. It's a drop in the ocean. Seriously. There are many more indefensible wastes of our tax money than the boob jobs.
Maybe we could maximize the use of the boob surgeons by also incorporating them into our interrogation process. It should be quite effective. 'Hey, Osama. Tell us where your sleeper cells are, or you'll wake up tomorrow with Dolly Parton size boobs'.
