910...Swedish Bra Explosions

And meltdowns.

You gotta love Sweden, the Volvo, Ikea, bra malfunctions. I was checking out The Local, an English language Swedish paper and they reported that the Swedish armed forces have been hit by a major equipment problem. Flimsy military brassieres are unable to stand up to the strains imposed when female Swedish troops perform rigorous exercise which cause the bras to routinely burst open. Sometimes they even catch fire forcing busty young conscripts to hurriedly strip off in the field.

There have been concerns raised over the last two decades by the Swedish Conscription Council, an organisation concerned with the rights of conscript troops in the Swedish forces, about bra management.

Amazingly the male dominated hierarchy of the Swedish Army has not done a thing to prevent these malfunctions from occurring. Impromptu strip downs in the field do not worry the men in charge of the military.
