The Israeli army has waged an all-out war against a phenomenon it considers to be a threat to the very core of military discipline: women's low waistlines in their army-issue pants.

Around 120 female soldiers were restricted to their bases after being caught wearing especially low-cut pants, in violation of army standards.
Female soldiers complained that the cut of army-issue slacks is unflattering to their figures. But the reason found no sympathy among their commanders, who refused to admit the immodest fashion onto their bases.
