A British manufacturer, BCB International, is flourishing, buoyed by sales of its Kevlar underwear, at $65 a pair, to U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan. However, soldiers and Marines must buy them directly.The “Bomb Boxers” are not supplied by the Pentagon even though nearly 10 percent of battlefield explosive-device injuries result in sometimes-catastrophic genital and rectal damage. According to a report in Talking Points Memo, the Pentagon’s currently issued protection is inferior to BCB’s but is less expensive.
