Some 120 female soldiers were confined to their bases after being caught wearing especially low-cut army issue military pants.

An IDF spokesman said the ‘close to the crack’ look was a violation of army standards.

Female soldiers who complained that the cut of army-issue slacks is 'unflattering' to their figures found no sympathy among their commanders, who refused to admit the immodest fashion onto their bases.

But in a country where military service is compulsory for 18-year-old girls, keeping fashion off the army's doorstep seems almost impossible, as soldiers often redesign their uniforms on their own.
