Yes, traditions may not be important to governments, but they are important to those of us who recognize the strong debt that all kilt wearers owe the Highland regiments, and the sacrifices that the men of these regiments made in Burma, Normandy, Hong Kong, the Somme and the Gulf.

750,000 may not be a lot of money to a government, but it is still a WASTE, considering there are already uniforms in use. It is also hypocritcal, since budgetary issues were part of the MoD's justification for the amalgamations in the first place.

I happen to agree with you Todd. We are the ones who have to keep an eye on the government and voice our opinions. But, sadly, we here in the US won't be able to do anything about what's happening in the UK.
