I thought I would post this website here to let our wives and/or SO's of a way they could help support our troops that have been wounded, especially those who have had amputations, etc. She does boxer shorts. She takes them apart and uses velcro fasteners to make it easy to put on.
Basically, the women need to be profficient with sewing. The idea is to purchase and/or obtain clothing and modifiey the items, in a way that will ease the use of the item for amputees, etc.
