Iranians allegedly found "Stars and Stripes" boxer shorts at crash site

The ability to maintain a sense of humor when everything goes to shit is a superlative survival skill.

"Following claims that Star and Stripes boxer shorts were found near the F-15 wreckage, American Eagle reported they are sold out.[49"

Not the same number of stars and stripes as the flag, so I guess o.k..

They probably just wanted to run it up the pole and see if anyone salutes it.
