Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Army Orders Soldiers to Wear Fake Breasts and 'Empathy' Bellies
Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops' exercise concerns
By Seth Robson Stars and Stripes Published: February 16, 2012
CAMP ZAMA, Japan – The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.
This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.
Army enlisted leaders all over the world are being ordered to take the Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Exercise Leaders Course, or PPPT, according to U.S. Army Medical Activity Japan health promotion educator Jana York.
Developed by the Army in 2008, the course includes aerobics classes, pool sessions and classroom studies on the physiology of pregnant women.

At first glance, I thought this was from the Onion.
Well now that’s queer.
there are no words...
Oh Lord!
As a woman, I find these orders offensive. Why the heck should soldiers have to go through this nonsense?
You're pregnant? GET OFF THE LINE.

Who cares how they feel?
If they cannot do the excercises they don’t belong out there trying.
If the excercise harms their fetus they shouldn’t be doing the excercise, find something else for them to do.
Why should men feel empathy for a pregnant soldier? If her pregnancy is affecting her activities she shouldn’t be there.
So if they went into battle her comrades have to watch out for her, because she might be pregnant?
Women do not belong in the military alongside men.
As a woman, this really offends me, and what’s worse is that the culture continues to sissify our men. Men need to stand up and say “enough is enough”!!!!!
Somebody...please explain...WHY We the People are somehow forced to pay for this #$it?!!
Are they going to have them swallow golf balls (or larger) so they can get a wee hint of how things work at the end?
You train the way you plan to fight....
Insanity.
Are we sending pregnant women into combat?
What is the point of this crap?
I guess the army wants to turn our soldiers into a bunch of transvestites!
I don't think there is a bottom for this admin.
Every day on FR I find this bunch lower than they were the day before!
Every single day, some fresh hell. I can’t believe this.
If my husband’s employer required this nonsense (you think it’s not coming?) I’d beg him to refuse.
Our enemies watch us.
How the heck does this protect and defend America? My mind cannot handle any more boggles.
The Obama MusloMarxist Circus continues to make a mockery of America.
