Taliban, Ambush, Guns and Pink Boxers?
Get your very own Taliban Butt Kicking Boxers!
I know the title may have you thinking that Hank put up an extra post this week. Sorry to disappoint you, but I had to mention this story from Tuesday. I do not read the NY Times, so I completely missed out on this. Maybe you have seen it already. It’s great.
The Dallas Ft. Worth online paper tells a story of a young soldier in Afghanistan who woke up to an ambush. He had time enough to throw on essential equipment — helmet, protective gear, gun. However, non essential equipment like pants and boots, he did not have time to grab. The young soldier fought the Taliban in a pair of pink boxers donning the words “I *heart* NY” on them.
The picture belongs to the AP, so click here to go and take a peek:
The young man warned his parents that the picture would be in the paper. The soldier was a good sport and it brought a good chuckle from his very proud father.
If you want a pair of the undies that made the front page of the NY Times (now known as the Taliban butt kicking boxers) you can go to the NY Factory. I believe these are it.

Claire,
I’ll help here. Going Commando, well, that would be minus the boxers. Especially in Jungle environments, some of us guys need breathing room. Semper Fi, Hank

Yes, but is it minus the boots too? :p I actually knew what commando was, but it wasn’t until we were down at Ft. Benning that I found out. I used to use the term “go commando on you!” when I was ready to administer boot to the head therapy. Now, I don’t say that lest people think I am ready to disrobe as an attack! hahaha!!
