Good news for all you Privates, the military has come out with ballistic underwear:
- Colonel, Underwear
The “ballistic boxers” seem to be working better. The heavy silk boxers, which look like shorts that professional cyclists wear, won’t stop a bullet or shrapnel from an IED. But the silk can stop small projectiles like those kicked up by an explosion.
“It is expected to prevent fine sands and particles that are thrown up by explosives, so that the tissue wounds are cleaner, less ragged and easier to treat,” said Lt. Jamie Larson, a Marines Corps spokesperson said in May.
No word on whether the other ranks, outside of Private, enjoy the underwear as much.
It won’t save your ass from the wrath of the Company 1stSgt either.
The Wrath of Khan?
Khan was a pansy.
Khan: [quoting from Melville's Moby Dick] To the last, I will grapple with thee… from Hell’s heart, I stab at thee! For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee!
When it’s killing time you won’t find me doing a lot of talking for hate’s sake. My rifle speaks for me.
Perhaps they will be easier to clean the shit out of them when the IED goes off.
CP: Ha ha!
As1stS: RGR, I understand that language. . .
