Oh, all right. I was looking at it like a high school math problem. Not enough information to draw any real conclusion. I never actually thought to go and read the article.

“out of 211 male patients operated on for the condition [in the whole of Germany, I presume], 35 were from the elite Wachbataillon.”

I’d say a cluster of 16% of patients is pretty significant.

You can have my breast when you pry my gun from my cold dead fingers.

I like this so much I’m going to pretend that it’s true.

You must not read enough Asian newspapers, breast slapping is all the rage in Thailand for making them larger

“diagnosed in 74 per cent of battalion members” ?That means the other 26% ain’t doing it right. C’Mon Soldier!

I think in archery it’s the right-side titty that’s the problem. I’m sue the boys in the Bundeswehr could pull a compound bow with a left tit perfectly well, as long as they shoot right-handed.

So if I want my breasts to grow I just need to slap them with a gun???

Hm. Looks like this story is hitting other news outlets.

So I’m going to resume speculating, starting with a longer version of the “HIT ME” thing above…

“C’MON! HIT ME AGAIN! THESE BREASTS AREN’T GOING TO GROW THEMSELVES, YA KNOW! HIT ME! … AW, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? YA CALL THAT A PUNCH? YOU’RE NOT EVEN GONNA GET ME TO AN ‘A’ CUP! I’VE GOT YOU UP TO A ‘B’ AT LEAST! I’M MAKIN’ A WOMAN OUT OF YOU, BUT YA AIN’T RETURNIN’ THE FAVOR! LET’S HIT THE WEIGHTS! I’LL SPOT YA.”

Maybe this is similar to what those transgendered kick boxers in Thailand go through. The training for that sport starts off with lots of punches and kicks to the chest. (That last sentence may not have any truth to it.)

But, then again, why leave sensitive transformative medical procedures like these to amateurs? Doctors could create practices applying a regimen of expertly well-placed blows to the chest, giving the swelling breasts the desired size and shape over a period of months.

It’s strange, because this story has been picked up by lots of sites, not just BB but also The Daily Mail, Medical Daily, and so on… But they all refer to this “German Herald”, which I’m quite certain is a humor site judging by its about page, as their primary reference — http://www.germanherald.com/German-Herald

Countdown until breast beatings become the latest spa fad. Or maybe they already are. I’m not really into those things.

Males already have breasts. What’s happening is existing breasts are enlarging.

“has been diagnosed in 74 per cent of battalion members who presented to army medics with concerns over the growths.”
In other words, they had, say, 50 male soldiers complain about lopsided breast growth and 37 of those turned out to really have it.

This proves what, again?

I’m not saying it’s true or it isn’t. However, it’s pretty easy to google a Berlin plastic surgeon with that name. Scroll down on the link below:

If I’d caused myself one-sided gynecomastia I’d (as we say in the UK) feel a right tit!

pics or it didn’t happen.

And you shoulder a gun, you don’t breast a gun. Therefore soldiers in the field shouldn’t be sprouting boob anytime soon.

I think they were doing some variation on the parade ground/marching band rifle drill with the spinning. When shooting the rifle butt is up where the pecs meet the shoulder joint, where there’s lots of bone and connective tissue.

Damn. I was about to speculate about a new rough-and-tumble category of gender transition used by those who are biologically male, but see themselves as women, yet have a rougher way about them.

“C’MON! HIT ME AGAIN! THESE BREASTS AREN’T GOING TO GROW THEMSELVES, YA KNOW!”
