I can assure you, the Black Watch, Seaforth Highlanders, Cameron Highlanders, etc. still exist as distinct Regiments. Oddly, just not in the UK.
And the way I personally look at it, as long as you're not walting it up, trying to pass yourself off as a member of said unit, it's fine.
I look at it as similar to someone wearing a sports jersey. Simply wearing it means you're a fan. Wearing it and trying to intimate that you are a member of that particular professional sports team means you should probably up your medication.
Don't walt and you're fine.
Clicky for a definition of Walt and Walting. Probably NSFW.
Thanks for the post on "WALTING" WE call them "WANABES" but that term "Walts" is GREAT !!
