The Iranian Basij militiamen have arrived at the U.S. military "forward base," obtained "booty"—a pair of underwear printed with the American flag.
This was likely left behind by a rescued F-15E weapons systems operator, who either changed his underpants or simply went without during the wait for rescue.
It's quite patriotic for the operator to wear such American underwear while carrying out high-risk missions.
Yet leaving behind this smelly souvenir suggests he had already prepared himself for the worst—being captured alive by Iranians and retreating into the mountains to wage guerrilla warfare alone.
