Swiss army to start allowing female soldiers to wear women's underwear for the first timeThe Swiss army is set to allow its female recruits to begin wearing women's underwear for the first time in an effort to attract more women to the armed forces.
Armasuisse, the Swiss armed forces' procurement organization, made the announcement on Wednesday noting that two sets of women's undergarments for warm and cold weather will be tested beginning next month, CNN reported.
Women soldiers within the Swiss armed forces are currently issued men's underwear, Armasuisse told the news outlet. [P]revious army equipment and uniforms were too little or not at all geared to the specific needs of women," an Armasuisse spokesperson said, according to CNN.
The trial rollout of women's underwear will be part of a larger effort to update the Swiss military uniforms that were originally designed in the 1980s, CNN noted.
"During the development phase, the ergonomics of women, among other things, were taken into account," Armasuisse said.
Earlier this month, on International Women's Day, the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport vowed to make an effort to attract more women to military service, saying that it wanted to create a "new service for women" and encourage "the reconciliation of military service, work, education and family," according to CNN.
Men and women soldiers in the Swiss army will continue to wear the same uniform, according to the outlet, however, updates, such as adjustable waistbands will now be included.
To be fair, the special forces never wears underwear.
They are going commando.

This is a myth that the WASPs have tried sooooo hard to convince everyone of, but it simply isn't the case. Black and Indigenous people were treated as an underclass/alien other since the literal inception of the Anglo-American state, and although some immigrant groups have been assimilated into whiteness and American culture has been influenced by groups that haven't assimilated into whiteness, ethnic WASPs have essentially created a multi-ethnic empire with a color-based hierarchical caste system, and have allied with or co-opted some groups while subjugating others. Suggesting that a country whose entire economy was initially founded on race-based chattel slavery and whose realization of great power status was enabled by its subjugation of other ethnic groups (in the American West, in the Caribbean, in E. Asia) has been "assimilationist and colorblind since its founding" is possibly the most batshit thing I've read in my life.

You are a reactionary, which in and of itself pits you sharply against the status quo. You support humane economic policies and oppose usury. You must have had your fair share of run-ins with the system and its proponents. In your mind, is a normative Alt-Right society (i.e. one that is racialist, yes, but also traditionalist, distributist/socialist/similar, and which frames itself in opposition to the society that currently exists) really worse than the status quo, and worse enough to justify fervent opposition to racialism? You must consider that the people pushing degeneracy on our youth, driving wages lower and prices higher and the like are not hooting and hollering and stomping their feet in opposition to 'Traditionalist Catholicism'. They have said nary a word about 'distributism'. Their focus is on racialism, on Neo-Nazi ideology, &c., which must surely mean they see it as the pre-eminent threat. I am not trying to convince you of racialism - that is an entirely separate argument, though one I am prepared and willing to enter into if you wish - I am asking you why you are so opposed to it.
Because GK Chesterton wasn’t a racialist and Salus isn’t a flipping white-nat LARPing as a Catholic. Knock it off. You bring the Devil before my fellow Catholics like a cowardly little snake and I will show you what it means to fear God. To fear God is to know that His Gospel belongs to ALL children and His kingdom is for ALL people, and you anger Him by trying to lure Salus into darkness. You know NOTHING about actual traditional Catholicism and you bring poison among us. Go back to Stormfront and bring your white sheet and red armband with you.

You like the idea of an 18 year old boy romancing his 13 year old "niece" ?
The number of weird, slightly nasty misrepresentations you've been advancing in this thread.... Nor is this the first death thread that you've done this sort of thing in. It's almost as if you enjoy hanging around these threads just so you can make as many posts as possible that are ever so slightly unpleasant, sneeringly twisting situations into the most negative interpretation possible, and deploying snide winking smilies in the process, while falling just that little bit short of breaking the site rules.
You must be such fun at parties.
Anyway, in this particular case:
1) While Prince Philip and the future Queen were first formally introduced when she was 13, Philip had no romantic interest in her at the time, and didn't set out to pursue her. The Queen says that she fell in love with him, and she started writing him letters; but he didn't set out to 'romance' her - or even encourage her - for some years afterwards, not least because her parents were unsure about Philip's suitability. It seems that the relationship didn't really advance until 1943, at which point Princess Elizabeth was 17. They didn't get engaged until she was 21, which was by no means unusual in the 1940s (or even into the 60s).
2) They're third cousins (or at best second cousins once removed). The relationship was never constructed or considered as an uncle/niece one.
It would be fair to note that Philip's own uncle Lord Mountbatten played a key role in encouraging - arguably deliberately manipulating - the relationship between Philip and the future Queen, for example arranging for his nephew to chaperone the princess at that 1939 first formal meeting, and then likely intervening to get Philip a British naval posting when his sister Princess Alice (Philip's mother) told him some months later that she'd convinced her son to join her in resettling in Greece (hardly the actions of a young man deliberately 'romancing' his teenaged distant cousin). That's all fair.
But then you're never particularly interested in being fair; only snide.
And...The Alma Mater wrote:Otoh, his family was mostly nazis (or married to nazis) and he himself got along splendidly with Hitler, saluting him numerous times in the wellknown manner.
And here you go again; and at this point you're just confused. Prince Philip's sisters all married Germans, including at least one Nazi Party and SS leader - which is why none of them were invited to his wedding. To the best of my knowledge, however, the teenaged Philip himself never met Hitler, nor saluted Hitler. The 16 year old Philip did march behind his sister's coffin when she was buried in Darmstadt in 1937, and walked alongside soldiers of the National Socialist regime during the funeral; but that was a family event, and he's never been shown - or accused of - making the Hitler salute at the time. His wife's uncle Edward VIII/the Duke of Windsor was, of course, a different matter.
There's plenty to criticise Philip for, but if we must criticise him, perhaps we should focus on criticising him for things he actually did.
Edit:The Alma Mater wrote:Actually there are plenty of suspicions that he DID pass on state secrets to the nazis.
But since there is very little proof we can - ironically - also attribute those suspicions to good old British racism against "the foreigner"
That's at least the second time you've posted this in the thread.
Either produce some actual evidence for these 'suspicions', or perhaps drop your Fox News-like 'some say' tactics.
