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 “rigorous exercises”. 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).
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.
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.
The problem would seem an easy one to solve, but the male-dominated Swedish military hierarchy has failed to act (for obvious reason).
This week I read that Obama plans to do away with the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” decades-old ban on open homosexuals in the ranks . Personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to be open about that in the military.
I guess the point is that gays don’t want to have to feel embarrassed about their sexual preference; which is understandable. But seriously how do you think a straight man is going to feel showering naked with an openly gay man right next to him, checking out his junk and what not.. thinking about all the dirty things he wants to do… right now…
I know a lot of homophobes that would rather die; or at least kill the queer ogling him…
