Looks like we're gonna be seein' a whole lot of fine lookin' women in the military.

I always wondered why military women looked so good. ;)

Look, women get injured in combat, just like men. In the modern world, there is no rear area. And injuries need to be reconstructed. That means having skilled and practiced surgeons. How are they supposed to practice?
Without having to sweat medical malpractice insurance, and having the equipment available, I don't see much of a problem here. The surgeons get practice in plastic surgury techniques, which keeps them board certified, soldiers get all sorts of items fixed, (not just boob jobs and tummy tucks, but things like overbites, and other deformities. And costs are low.

Like Ben says, the military surgeons need to keep in practice. As a patriotic supporter of our troops and the current overseas actions I will personally volunteer to go under the knife if the need arises! It's a small price to pay, and they can deduct the cost from my Social Security payments:-)

Ben: Great post. Combat injuries can be pretty grim - and they happen in peacetime, in training, too. My hat's off to the surgeons, and to the guys who came up with this idea.
I think your take is the real reason for the plan, but if they said "so we can rebuild broken bodies" it wouldn't have sold so well.

"...there is no rear area."
Hey... I like 'rear areas'...especially in female... er, um, oh dang...
oh, you are talking about OPs ...
Anyway, while I am on Title 10 orders, I am hoping to get on the waiting list for laser eye surgury.
