Jeff, do you think we can get the Big Army to approve wearing the ACU kilts on Tartan Day?

Long time no see!
Today I argued that all active duty personnel should be allowed to wear their respective service tartan on Tartan Day. Preferably as a kilt of course.
And for those exposed to hostile fire, they should be allowed to wear a camouflage kilt in their service's respective disruptive pattern.
Sadly, few thought it was a good idea. (It never ceases to amaze me that women like seeing men in a kilt, but many men feel "threatened" by the idea of wearing a kilt.)
