I'll give you two out of the three. Any combat vet needs a bit of room and understanding (although by now a 'Nam vet should know his own limitations). And it's good that RC got away safely. I've been in that place and sometimes it is not easy (like in a car with a Congo mercenary vet, who has just decided I'm lying about not being in the jungle with him in some battle that few survived).
However, kilts are clothing. There's no responsibility to be above board. Just be yourself, in a kilt.

p.s. I made the above comment about a vet knowing his limitations more as an ideal. I know that a) the therapy/support is not always there, and b) sometimes the damage can never be undone. The UK people can help me here, it was fairly recent that UK publications had ads encouraging people to be understanding of WW2 vets. That was longer ago than 'Nam and those people, I believe, had more support.
