There is little similarity between doing liposuction and treating a gunshot wound or chemical burn.
I have no objection to military and their families receiving medical benefits as many who work in the private sector do, but plastic surgery? Surely if you are going to use "the docs need to practice" as a reason, aren't there more truly needy people out there who would benefit more?
