HuffPo: German Soldiers Growing Breasts Because of Gun Drills

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/24/german-soldiers-growing-breasts_n_2536939.html

A new military report published in the German Medical Science journal and obtained by the German Herald finds that dozens of soldiers in the Wachbataillon unit have developed the condition because the drills they perform stimulate male mammary glands.

The director of plastic surgery at the military hospital in Berlin, Professor Bjorn Krapohl, said it's likely the repeated slapping of the soldiers' rifles on the left side of their chests during drills stimulates the glands to produce hormones, which creates the one-sided-boob effect.

At least 35 soldiers have been stricken with the condition, called one-sided gynecomastia, which has prompted German military officials to consider changing the way in which the battalion performs drills.


A bunch of 20 year old dudes suddenly have unlimited access to a boobie. I predict a bunch of failure to report to duty charges may need to be issued soon.
