It seems according to a story posted at The BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6997316.stm ,the Australian Navy is now paying for female sailors to have breast enlargements, and that’s creating quite a uproar in government circles.
It seems they claim that the breast implants were not paid for so that female sailors could look better. Rather to improve their self-esteem and how they felt about themselves.
Brig Nikolic, a spokesperson for the military, says, “We do consider the broader needs of our people, both physical and psychological.”
Now, whether it’s right or wrong that the military is paying for breast augmentation isn’t really the issue. Instead, I’m thinking wouldn’t it be wonderful if in the future, breast implants became a part of our benefit packages at work?
Think about it – it would be like dental coverage. Perhaps this year you’d just have a “lift and separate,” but next year you might go from a B cup to a D cup. Wait five years later; it seems you’d prefer to be a C cup.
Wouldn’t it be great if all you had to do was pay your deductible, and you could have the breasts you always wanted.
But wait – think about this – perhaps liposuction and face lifts could be covered too. I mean isn’t it good for our mental health to be 50 and look 30? I think there’s a lot of potential here.
According to the Australian navy’s spokesperson, paying for breast augmentation isn’t routine, and it’s done only when it will benefit
psychologically, producing a better female soldier. That’s not to say that their new look isn’t going to be enjoyed by many.
Here’s the kicker. The plastic surgeon who did the breast augmentation on two of the female soldiers said it cost $10,000 for each. It certainly shows that the Navy either has too much money on its hands or doesn’t know how to use it correctly. But that’s another story. For women it’s about much more.
Ladies we can begin to dream about the day our benefit packages just might cover breast enlargements or reductions, and for many of us that simply don’t have the money for the procedure, we just might be able to get “the girl’s" we want.
Then again, if we don’t feel like waiting, maybe it’s time to join the Australian navy?
