Secretary of Defense Robert Gates praised Zachary Boyd, the soldier in Afghanistan who was woken by Taliban gunfire and ran to defend his unit, still in his boxer shorts. After the incident, the soldier was immediately debriefed.
Gates said that engaging the enemy in boxers was a innovation in psychological warfare. The only downside is that the Taliban are now planning to use new tactics that include wedgies.
Specialist Boyd was also wearing flip-flops instead of boots, and will be credited with inventing frat party camouflage.
Even though Specialist Boyd was technically out of uniform in the fire-fight, at least he didn’t go commando.
A news photographer snapped pictures of corporals, sergeants, and other specialists, as well as Boyd in his boxers, but he didn’t catch a glimpse of any privates.
Though his footwear are sometimes called thongs, the army insists they be called flip-flops. If it was said that a soldier in his underwear was running around thong-clad, he could be court-martialed.
