A SOLDIER fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan while wearing pink undies has made front page news in the US.
US Army Specialist Zachary Boyd, 19, said Taliban militants launched an ambush while he was asleep so he had no time to put on his full uniform or boots.
So he grabbed his gun, body armour and helmet and headed into battle with his legs and boxer shorts exposed - a moment captured by an Associated Press photographer.
Spc Boyd called his parents in Fort Worth, Texas, to tell them he was going to be on the front page of the New York Times.
"I ran to the computer and looked at the New York Times right quick," Spc Boyd's father, Tommy, told WBAP.

"Lo and behold, I saw his pink underwear and just laughed for about the next five minutes."
"I knew he was a boxer guy, I knew that for sure"
"I did not know they were pink, and I didn't know they said, 'I love New York.'"
