There's no justice in the world

Alessija Dorfmann Booted from German Army after Boob Job
Alessija Dorfmann, a 23-year-old recruit in the German army, was booted from the country’s training program after it was determined her boob job posed an increased risk of injury.
Dorfmann had apparently wanted to be an army nurse but at the same time wanted to look good doing it. After undergoing a breast augmentation operation that boosted her cup-size to D top brass in the German army ruled she could no longer fulfill her army duties in a safe manner.
Speaking about the army’s decision Dorfmann was quoted as saying, ““I am devastated. It has always been my dream to be a soldier and have a great figure.”



and yet, there's this...

FOXNews.com - Breast Implants Save Woman's Life - Brit Hume | Special Report
Saved by Silicone
A 24-year-old Israeli woman is crediting an extra layer of protection for saving her life during a Hezbollah rocket attack which shot hot shrapnel directly at her heart. But it wasn't body armor that stopped the projectile, it was her breast implants.
Doctors say the shrapnel lodged in the woman's two-year-old silicone implants, just inches from her heart.
The woman didn't emerge completely unscathed, however. Her doctor says the shrapnel has been removed, but her life-saving implant had to be replaced.



So how are the implants making her unsafe at work? Aren't they potentially making her more safe?
