Boxers or briefs?
A lot of guys consider that a personal question, but the secret has been revealed for a 19-year-old Fort Worth soldier, thanks to The New York Times, the Internet and, well, the Taliban.
Army Spec. Zachary Boyd, a 2007 graduate of Keller Central High School, was in his sleeping quarters this week when the Taliban attacked in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Boyd rushed to a defensive position clad in his helmet, vest and boxers -- the pink ones decorated with the "I Love NY" slogan.
As luck would have it, an Associated Press photographer was working at Firebase Restrepo in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, where Boyd is stationed.
His boxers ended up on the front page of the Times.
His mother was surprised to see that her son was in the Times, but she was not surprised that he was wearing unusual skivvies.
"It was typical," she said. "He has always been an interesting little character."

"He wanted to be an officer, but he didn’t want to be one that the men would not respect," she said. "He felt he needed to know the Army from the bottom up to be an effective leader."
I'm impressed.
If the photo had been his placing those pink boxer shorts on the head of one of one of the Talaban who showed up, the solider would have been courtmartialled for having used “torture.”
May he come home safe and sound.
Note to self: Buy DH festive boxer shorts, just in case.
Two Taliban in line to meet their maker
Taliban #1. “So, I hear that you were wacked by the guy wearing pink Hello Kitty Underwear”
Taliban #2 “Oh Shut up!!!”
“. . . from the bottom up. . .”
LOL!
Atta boy!
I must remember to wear my Rocky and Bullwinkle skivies the next time I’m whacking some Taliban @$$wipes.
Somebody get that man some pants!
I would have taken off that red shirt if I were him
Classic!
Stay safe Soldier.

More of a man in pink underwear than any libtard in any attire.
“I must remember to wear my Rocky and Bullwinkle skivies the next time I’m whacking some Taliban @$$wipes.”
I’d wear anything if they’d give me a chance to whack some some Taliban @$$wipes. Alas and alack, just because I’m a million years old they won’t take me back.
For your not-a-ping list
Whatever it takes, God bless our American Troops
