Commandos would wear bullet proof pants surely?

Because commandos had to travel as light as possible - so trivialities (as far as they were concerned) like underpants and toothbrushes etc. were unecessary and in fact a burden.Nature would always provide.
Makes you think doesn't it?

The terms "going commando" or simply "commando" are often used in the United States, Canada, Australia and Great Britain to refer to wearing no underwear under the trousers. The term originated with American soldiers who preferred not to wear underwear in field conditions because of its tendency to retain sweat and the additional laundry burden. The terms are analogous to the Scottish military term "regimental" referring to wearing no underwear under the kilt.

I've heard it called that because commandos go into situations in which they don't have any backup. And if you lose your jeans, where's your backup?
