Did you know that Marine Corps silkies are the best, lightest, most inexpensive, and most beloved underwear+running short in the world?
And did you know that the Marine Corps is trying to ban them?
Never fear. They are still for sale last I checked on Amazon, and we can only hope that they will never go away! There is currently a quiet revolution among all Marines with good taste and sexy white thighs, as many simple Devil Dogs are doing what they know is right, and continuing to wear the silkies to PT. Some Marines hated them. So be it. I can’t help it that your boxers would shoot out the bottom of the little shorts. I can’t help it that Hooters booty shorts are actually a little longer. (confirmed)
I can’t help it that everyone looks good in them, like Terminal Lance discovered:
Silkies have fans of both genders. Silkies have their own facebook page. They make Marines look good. Just like our dress blues. Silkies should never die. Wear them today, wear them forever. Semper Fi, Silkies.
