Into Battle In A Kilt

[macmanjim]

Since it seems that one of the primary reasons that the kilt was discarded in favor of trousers after WW1 was the ice building up on the pleats and causing trauma to the back of the legs, and trench warfare is really no longer an issue, I think the kilt would make fine combat clothing in a rural environment. Modern mechanized war would lend itself well to the kilt, and the hygiene superiority it provides. Not to mention the bravery it helped muster, the moral boosting effect cannot be underestimated.
Even here in the Ozarks, where every sort of thorny bramble and sticker abounds, it works well in the cooler months as outdoor wear.
I have yet to not take my wild game while not in a kilt.
Also, I have played reveille to the Militia troops many times at our yearly BTX. ( I am also the training NCO for the local Company)
I wonder if any think the kilt suitable for apocalypse scenarios as well? Could you imagine the survivors in "Walking dead" battling in kilts? Maybe a modern canvas?

RE TWD: I was thinking something similar. I'd offer my services. Maybe something in a Utilikilt, like the Workman or Survival kilt or I'd wear something more traditional, like black watch or even buchanan. Put on some combat boots with a M1911A1 on my hip and M-14 over my shoulder. That would do the trick. I'd kick negan's **** too.
