The Army is experimenting with heavy silk underwear to protect soldiers’ groin areas and abdomens from makeshift land-mines. Operation Silk Underwear was previously the name of the Army’s covert project to rally support for the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

The silk underwear will be issued to soldiers unless they are literally going commando.
