According to the Associated Press<\/a>, Marine Corps Master Sgt. Brian Papakie had to explain himself today in court when he was asked if a comment he made about Breanna Manning’s panties was intended to be anti-gay;<\/p>\n

Papakie testified on cross-examination about a memo he wrote after the brig commander ordered Manning stripped of his underwear each night starting March 2, 2011. Manning stood naked at attention for a prisoner count the next morning, causing a stir that prompted Papakie to write an email to ensure it didn’t happen again.<\/p>\n

“Make sure he is not standing at attention naked for evening count right before taps. You should be taking his panties right before he lays down,” Papakie wrote.<\/p>\n

Under questioning by defense attorney David Coombs, Papakie said he uses the word interchangeably with “skivvies” and “underwear” when discussing men’s undershorts.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always used the phrase, `Don’t get my panties in a bunch,’ which is what I tell the staff all the time,” he said.<\/p>\n

Papakie acknowledged that he knew Manning was gay but said he didn’t consider the word “panties” homophobic. He conceded that it was not professional to use the term in a memo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the master sergeant had good reason to refer to Manning’s drawers as panties, it seems.<\/p>\n

[Marine Corps Master Sgt. Craig] Blenis referred to a letter Manning had signed “Breanna Manning,” an alias he had used on occasion. The defense revealed at a hearing last year that Manning had written to a supervisor in Baghdad before his arrest, saying he suffered from gender-identity disorder. He included a picture of himself dressed as a woman and talked about how it was affecting his ability to do his job and think clearly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, why does the defense have their panties in a bunch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
