Yeah, I'm pretty sure xenohormones are to blame (chemicals in nature or man made that attach to estrogen receptors in the body). But what do you guys think?
Yikes, found this not too long ago, fitting. https://vimeo.com/15346778
EDIT: Apparently its due to the drills? I don't believe it though. Riflemen doing trills like glorified gun toting cheerleaders are the ones getting this, not anyone using or shooting a rifle. It's gotta be the estrogen, body building circles seem to know whats up.

The rhythmic impact of a rifle wielded by a military man can puff up his chest. This sometimes leads to worry, or worse. Though soldiers might appreciate a good pair of breasts, what would happen if they themselves grew a pair? Or if they grew just one?
Some men do experience this affront. A study called Gynecomastia in German Soldiers: Etiology and Pathology, published last year in the journal GMS Interdisciplinary Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, analysed the plight of 211 male German soldiers who suffered from, or at least exhibited, one or two enlarged breasts. The ailment has a medical name: gynecomastia.
The study's authors, Prof Björn Dirk Krapohl, Dr Dietrich Doll, and four colleagues at Bundeswehrkrankenhaus, the German Armed Forces Hospital in Berlin, played detective. They set out "to investigate the increased incidence of left-sided gynecomastia in members of the German Ministry of Defense Guard Battalion who perform ceremonial duties in Berlin … A possible explanation is the mechanical impact of the carbine against the left side of the body during the drills that these soldiers regularly perform as part of their ceremonial duties"....
