#5  It's not really trivial, is it Capt. America? After all, a comfortable soldier is a more relaxed and effective soldier... the logic chain ending with, "better underwear means we'll be able to downsize our troop presence in Iraq much more quickly." ;-)

#4  May seem trivial, but with 120 F degree temperatures, any help in this regard is welcome.

#1  "The new operational underwear, which has been successfully trialled for comfort and design, is for wear in operations in hot desert and tropical conditions where regular adequate laundering may not be available. Anti-microbial capability inhibits bacterial and fungal infections common in such conditions as well as odour."

And there you have it. Unisex too.
