I see it like this, the Marines are children of the UNITED STATES NAVY, and we love them dearly. Having served 20 years in the submarine service I will jolly well wear the Leatherneck tartan if it pleases me to do so (copy the kid's fashion so to speak) and I could not possibly care less who doesn't like it. Of course if Jerry really want's to draw a bead on my bank account all he has to do is come up with a USN kilt with slash pockets.......
