30 years ago, America laughed at Corp. Klinger.
We ain't laughing any more.

Army Orders Soldiers to Wear Fake Breasts and 'Empathy' Bellies
Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops' exercise concerns
By Seth Robson Stars and Stripes Published: February 16, 2012
CAMP ZAMA, Japan – The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.
This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.
Army enlisted leaders all over the world are being ordered to take the Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Exercise Leaders Course, or PPPT, according to U.S. Army Medical Activity Japan health promotion educator Jana York.
Developed by the Army in 2008, the course includes aerobics classes, pool sessions and classroom studies on the physiology of pregnant women.

Believe it or not, training is important in the military. They don’t just gather up a bunch of angry morons and storm through foreign lands.
For instance - train like you fight, fight like you train? Is that it?
I have this mental picture of some Sergeant telling his men to strap on their boobs (or women to strap on something else) and take that hill.
ROTFLMAO
We're suppposed to read the articles?
I’d say screw you, ‘Sir’. Now where’s the Stockade?
All you can do is laugh at the insanity. The inmates are truly running the asylum now.
He knows very well how they feel. Not that he has ever had a set of his own.
This is exactly what Santorum was talking about!
At this point, I’m guessing our Obama government will soon be having male soldiers place Tampons where they don’t belong so that they can understand the complications a female soldier endures.
Do they have to wear bras and panties too?
How, exactly, does this help soldiers prepare for their jobs and responsibilities?
It may help some to be more metrosexual and more socially appealing to female soldier who like that kind of thing... but I fail to understand why those "benefits" are important enough to the military leadership to issue such orders.
Or were they issued by a female officer?
2) "We're suppposed to read the articles?"
Before agreeing that others haven't "read the whole article before freaking out," read the "folks" comments. Such as:
'It never "makes sense" for male soldiers to wear fake breasts and boobs! "Sense" would be to have men train men and women train women. Period!'
How do they plan to teach them to waddle like the faggot soldiers that Odinga is so fond of?
Check back issues. Maybe that’s where they got the idea. Why are pregnant women even active in the armed forces? That should at least be grounds for a leave of absence.
Hey! No Onion articles here!
But I have to admit, for something so far-fetched, it’s pretty funny!
That is pretty disgusting.
If a woman is pregnant she needs to be assigned a desk job.
I mean, what? She’s going to defend one extra life or go into combat with morning sickness and any other ailments that accompany pregnancy?
How is a man suppose to deal with that on the battlefield? Especially if he has children and was very involved in helping his wife through her pregnancy.
Just plain stoopid and distracting.
You get pregnant, you get reassigned.
Better and safer for all.
I’m not speechless.
We are doomed. It is over. We are just doomed. Yes, the decline will take a few decades, but the USA is over. We are just doomed.
Hellooooooooo Centurians! Enjoying your front row seat watching the Fall of the Roman Empire? Because that it me. I have a front row seat and I’m watching the death of Western Civilization.
Its over. We are just fighting a rear-guard delaying action. Our capitol is to be sacked, we are just holding the Hun off a bit longer.
That is how I truly feel. Our 200+ years of Democracy is long past. We as a nation have abandoned God. We lack the moral, informed electorate necessary for our “Republic, if we can keep it.”
It’s over.
Sounds like these PFS (Pregnant Female Soldiers) have already done a few too many push-ups.
