Jake,
You are correct of course, but I think Archangel's point is that the history, traditions and most importantly, the sacrifices of the regiments that have worn the Government Sett and other military tartans should be respected. Surely you can support honouring & respecting those brave lads who wore the Black Watch tartan from Flanders fields to Burma's jungles?
He's not saying not to wear them, but to honour and respect the history behind it. Woodsheal just posted a very impressive picture of the Black Watch cairn at Ft. Ticonderoga which is a very tanigble reminder of the storied history of the regiment.
