			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/23/swedish_military_bras/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3054" title="burningbra" src="http://thesabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/burningbra1-209x300.jpg" alt="burningbra" width="209" height="300" align="left" /></a>The armed forces have been hit by a major equipment problem, according to reports. Flimsy Swedish military bras apparently can’t handle the strains imposed when female Swedish troops engage in &#8220;rigorous exercises&#8221;.  Reports indicate the faulty undergarments regularly burst open (hot) or even catch fire (hotter; literally) and force busty young recruits to quickly strip in the field (hottest).</p>
<p>An organization that fights for rights of Swedish military troops told a local paper that government-issued military brassieres given to female soldiers have long been unfit for combat.</p>
<p>And that the women have complained for years that in addition to catching fire the bras’ fasteners tend to come undone during drills, forcing the female soldiers to take off all of their equipment in order to refasten the brassieres.</p>
<p>The problem would seem an easy one to solve, but the male-dominated Swedish military hierarchy has failed to act (for obvious reason).</p>
