5 Year Study to Learn What Women in the Army Want.

The other day I read this great article in the Standard Examiner, it was entitled "Better Uniforms Soon for Women" and was issued from the Scripps Howard News Service. (Read Here) In the article it discussed how the Army has conducted a five year study to determine what women want in a uniform. You can't make this stuff up guys! Here is a direct quote:

After five years of research, the Army thinks it has figured out what women soldiers want: Combat uniforms that take into account the differences between their physiques and those of men.

Yes, you read that correctly.  After a five years the Army has finally figured out that women have different physiques than those of men. But it gets better, look at what the Project Executive Office Soldier said:

Project Executive Office Soldier -- the Army outfit that develops and tests new equipment -- says it has learned that women come in many different sizes and shapes and are not built as "straight" as men, the Army News Service reports.

Eureka!!!  We've solved the mystery, we've cracked the code!  We now know that women come in many different sizes and shapes!  It only took five years of research, let's now tackle cold fusion!

I wonder if at anytime during the study of there was an actual disagreement that women were not different.  I mean did none of these people attend a health class or a maturation program when they were kids.  How come it has taken a five year study to realize what the rest of us already know.  Women's bodies are different than men's.

According to the report, these new "curve friendly" uniforms will arrive in 13 sizes and will feature an elastic waistband.  600 Women are testing these uniforms but it will take another four years before they can debut these new "hip friendly" uniforms.  All in all it will take nearly 10 years for this transformation to be complete.

Where did the money come from for this study?  Well more than likely tax payer money was spent to find out women hate their clothes and want things that fit.  It took my one month of marriage to find out my wife likes clothing that fit.  How the heck did it take the Army five years?  Now they are going to test the uniforms for four more years!

What a waste of money and time, but at least in 2014 our female soldiers will be in clothes that fit.
