So over drinks after a business meeting Thursday, a co-worker asked "the question", really more as a what does it mean, is it true, not necessarily my own preference. I explained what it meant, that commando was more a US term for the same idea. She asked then asked why? Meaning, what was the historical reason for going regimental? I realized that I had no idea. I have seen/read all of the widely publicized material about mirrors on sticks to check on soldiers in the highlands regiments, but never seen anything regarding why? So does anybody have any theories, historical information, or other information about why to go regimental?
