A whole different Army than the one that I served in.

I do believe that any Ranger worth his salt back then would have been in the brig before giving in to this kind of PC BS!

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. The NCOs learn special exercises for pregnant women, who shouldn’t push themselves too hard or participate in high-impact activities such as snowboarding, bungee jumping or horse riding, York said.

Uh...they're training to be PT instructors for pregnant women. It seems logical that they should know how much that will make a difference to the trainees, wouldn't you think?

What your beef with that?

Well, since most women become pregnant at some point in their lives, you'd eventually lose 13.4% of our active duty Army, 23.7% of the Reserves and 14% of the National Guard. Recruiting is difficult enough already without creating unnecessary problems.

Or, just as likely, heterosexual women would be forced out of the Army, leaving only the lesbian's. How would you like THAT?

Or, maybe they could just all get abortions. Would that be better?

'Assuming' that you are a woman .. How would you like to be ordered to wear a fake 'penis' and testicles!

You're a liberal so don't bother to answer.

WTF

I showed this to my Dad an Ex-Marine DI. Instead of getting angry I though he was going to cry.

The pussification of our armed forces continues.

Ah the good old days....
