The Debacle of Liposuction and Boob Jobs for a Military Who Can't Get Help for War Injuries

The more I think about this story of recruiters enticing people to sign up for the military by offering plastic surgery including boob jobs, Botox, and liposuction, the angrier I get.

A lot of GIs coming back from battle aren't getting good or expedient treatment because the system is so taxed. Vets who fought in the past have watched the promise of lifelong medical help be reduced dramatically, a very poor thank you for their sacrifice.

The goal shouldn't be JUST to get people into the military. It should also be to provide proper support and care for them during and AFTER their service.

Like the Bush formula for war or not, these men and women represent us, serve for us, and deserve our respect, our funding, and our care upon their return. That's vastly more important than bigger breasts or a better smile, especially to those returning without limbs, with brain damage, with blindness.
