British Soldiers Get Germ-Fighting Undies
Ant writes "Yahoo! News reports that British soldiers will be getting germ-fighting underwear. The antimicrobial underpants have been introduced by the Ministry of Defense as part of a new desert uniform for soldiers. They are the first undergarments issued to British troops, who traditionally have had to supply their own.
Military officials said Thursday the unisex trunks were made from artificial fibers for comfort, with silver particles woven into the material to prevent sweating.
"It is coated to prevent bacterial infection, and we have tried to arrange the seams so that they don't chafe," Col. Silas Suchanek, who led the team that procured the new equipment, said Thursday."

If the number of British army enlistees suddenly skyrockets in the next month, we'll all know why.
Actually they look stretchy, like bicycle shorts. This means they should be able to accommodate either a cameltoe or a buck-knuckle.
