Male German Soldiers are Growing Breasts

An elite military Guards battalion is growing boobs because of the way they drill, a shock military medical report had revealed in Germany.

Dozens of soldiers in the Wachbataillon unit - which performs close drill displays at official events - are said to be stricken with a condition which stimulates male mammary glands.

Experts say the repeated slapping of the soldiers' heavy rifles in the same spot on the left side of their chests during drills has stimulated the glands to produce hormones, causing boobs to sprout on one side only.

The condition - called one sided gynecomastia - has been diagnosed in 74 per cent of battalion members who presented to army medics with concerns over the growths.

Director of plastic surgery at the military hospital in Berlin, Professor Bjorn Krapohl, confirmed: "There is a very significant link between the activity in the Guard Battalion and the development of the breast on the left side.

"They need to change the way they drill. The constant slamming of the rifles against the left hand side of the chest is clearly a significant factor," he added.

Official figures show that out of 211 male patients operated on for the condition, 35 were from the elite Wachbataillon.

Military brass have promised to research the condition and adapt the battalion's drills if necessary.

An army spokesman said: "The affected soldiers are being medically supervised and treated individually."

You realize this information can be monetized, right? Women everywhere will be buying rifles.

But be sure to make them hit the chest simetrically!

Happy? Or do you want to check the medical tests?

Wait.....this sounds an awful lot like those ab machines you always see advertised- they smack you in your gut repeatedly to magic it away.....so....those machines actually make it bigger.

Uhm, is there a non-tabloid source for this? Because I could find none, and even the tabloid sources seem C-rate.

Don't know, but the medical article on it exists:

If it's true I feel bad for these soldiers.  But on the flip side, if we got women to do ambidextrous rifle drills like this (or I guess something that would produce a similar effect if you want to be boring) would their boobs get bigger?  If this does indeed "stimulate glands to produce hormones", it seems like a cheaper alternative to implants.
