I note that two years have now passed since 'Flammable' bras hold back Swedish female conscripts was first exposed in the media. The Swedish procurement directorate has made no significant effort to remedy the situation. I, for one, am horrified.

The women complained that the bras’ fasteners have a tendency to come undone when the women performed rigorous exercise, forcing the female soldiers to take off all of their equipment in order to refasten the brassieres.


Well that would certainly be a great distraction.

The whole idea was a bust anyway.

A good sports bra and they should be just fine no way it will come undone or fall apart.

I agree, I think we should give these energetic trainees all the support they can take. The problem seems to be the procurement officers, who tend I suspect to be Swedish men. The recruits are obliged to wear regulation issue uniform during these display exercises.

It's good that you stay on top of these things, spot.

Swedish women should stay firm and make their demands felt, even if they have to push themselves in the face of these inflexible bean-counters.
