I'm embarrassed

I wonder if Angas Houston (chief of armed forces) or Brendan Nelson (defence minister) were aware of this.

Feminist BS and PC have just made a laughing stock of the ADF.

What will most likely follow will be claims of sexual harrassment because some normal red blooded male dared to ogle what his taxes have been used to pay for.

Join the freaking club.

The CF has paid for a sex change operation. The British Army has done the same. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has opened entire clinics on sex change operations.

What the hell has happened to the BROTHERHOOD of Arms?

I suppose this is just like any other fringe benefit.

They probably think that masculine camaraderie is insufficient for those long lonely voyages in the Pacific, so they at least give the men something to look at. :p

MEN in the Australian Defence Force can apply for penis enhancement surgery provided they have compelling medical or psychological reasons.
Yeah, here's a good reason. I need larger equipment to match her large pontoons.

I told a few guys who were (or still are) in our Army and according to them such things happens quite often here too, All that is required is that you "proove" to have any kind of social problems that would be solved with operations (breats, penis, nose etc). Havent heart anything about sex-change yet though...

It's an Army! They're already trained hot to deal with various problems, with deadly force, mostly. If your buddies care more about your penis size than whether you will stand by them when sh!t hits the fan, then you got yourself a rag-tag unit.
