US Army Tartan

[Highland Logan]

I think he was referring to the legacy of the Armed Forces that the tartans represent...not so much the legacy of the tartan itself. When you get right down to it, isn't that the deal with all tartan? Is there something special about the Black Watch tartan that makes it proud and honorable? Not in my opinion...it is just a symbol...like a flag, unit colors, etc. It is the men who wore it that have made the legacy and who we honor by wearing it...not the person that invented the pattern.

First.. no real offence intended, but I was asking Ron. And since you bring it up, Black Watch was worn by many regt over the years on and off the field, and is reconized as their tartan. So there is a bit of differance between a tartan created by someone to make money with no official reconiztion by the group it was created for and one used officially.

And Ron, no need to spin. I did not challange you pride in the armed forces of your country, I asked about your description of a non-reconized fashion tartan as being "proud and honorable". So please drop the flag and answer a politly asked direct question.
