"Remember these faces. These are a sampling of the lads that went to Vietnam. Many didn’t want to go, but it was their duty. They went for their Country but they fought for each other. They fought to stay alive & come home to families & friends who loved them. They laughed, they joked, they had their private fears & dreams of their future. 58,000 did not return. They were your brothers, your sons, your friends & your fathers. These above were Marines, but the Army, Navy, Airforce & Coast Guard sent their best as well. To be truly good patriots, we must all never forget the price of war nor engage in it for foolish purposes & never forget our Lads & Lassies who served, no matter their age, whether they come home or not...They paid the price & we owe them a heartfelt gratitude. Above all else though, we owe them sound judgement.
Semperi Fi ! Alexis Malcolm, proud daughter of a US Navy Doctor who went with "his" Marines to Bouganville & Guadalcanal, Navy wife, Navy Submariner's sister & Mom of a US Marine."

What I do not understand is how you sir, can insult another man's tartan, then expect the other man to agree with your insult and expect him to justify why you do not have the right to insult his tartan.
Insulting another man's tartan as not "proud and honorable" is self-evident disrespect, as is assuming an aloof position and demanding the pride and honor of another man's tartan be justified.
I still fail to see why you have such an interest in demanding the pride an honor of the U.S. Army tartan be proven to your satisfaction.
The insult originated from you sir. The pride and honor of the U.S. Army tartan is self-evident.
And, I can only speculate that IF England had fallen the next invasion would have been of Newfoundland and my guess is that the men and women of the U.S. Army would have gladly defended Canadian soil. Certainly, my ancestors would have since we are also of Canadian ancestry.
As for Afganistan, there were Canadians that died on 9-11 too.
