It says the guy was asleep when he had to rush out to man positions against talibob attack .

Apparently the pic was taken by a journalist who then had it printed on the front page of the times.

dedicated young man .showing his pink boxers to the world takes courage .

had to smile at the pic -but the guy did good and the high ups say that he preformed with guts .
