Cheap Army Uniforms Causing Crotch Blow-Out

Posted by Emily Farris

For those unlucky enough to be stuck fighting in Iraq, the last thing they need is a busted crotch on their fatigues. But when the U.S. government is too cheap to provide anything but a single-stitch where it matters most, blown-out pants are apparently an all-too-often occurrence in the Army. Since soldiers began reporting "crotch durability problems" two years ago, they're working on keeping our boys in combat all covered up.

There's a Bush's-balls-in-a-flight-suit joke in here somewhere, but I"m sure Jon Stewart will be beat me to it.
