German Soldiers Grow Breast from Gun Smacking
German soldiers in the Wachbataillon unit are, literally, growing breasts. Or breast rather, universally on the left side.The reason for this growth in breast tissue correlates directly to a specific drill exercise that the men perform. The drill involves the German soldiers pounding their rifles on their left side, near the chest region.
Apparently this drill done over a duration of time led to the cause one sided gynecomastia. That being, a breast, or two.
Director of plastic surgery at the military hospital in Berlin, Professor Bjorn Krapohl, said the soldiers need to change the drill.
“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.”
Strangely enough, gynecomastia, is sometimes seen in individuals that have imbalances in their estrogen and testosterone output.
In terms of explaining why these German soldiers are growing a “breast” from smacking their rifles against their chest area, scientists have settled on the notion that it must be from the rifle smacking.
There is no empirical date or research available on this type of gynecomastia acquisition, but in terms of an alternate explanation, there just isn’t one.
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.”
