Why dose it mean? Why frase "I'm commando" mean that I'm without underwear? How are these linked?

The origin of the phrase “going commando” means to not wear any underwear. Si una persona dice “I’m going commando… el frase significa que la persona no está llevando ropa interior / calzones 😭
The origin of the phrase is debated. “Commando” can be slang for “soldier” and the phrase became popular in the 1980s, so some people think the phrase comes from the Vietnam War where the humidity and heat made soldiers get diseases because their underwear was not breathable. It was better to be naked. So when the soldiers came back home, “going commando” meant dressing like how they did when they were a soldier… (without underwear)
