Todd, I have to agree with you here. It is just my personal feeling but I would feel strange wearing a military tartan I had no affiliation with. I served in the Army for several years so I may get a kilt in the US Army tartan. But there is no way I would feel right about wearing a Polaris or USMC tartan kilt and that is not just because I think jarheads are all bunch of knuckleheads either. Only kidding nothing but respect for anyone who has served regardless of service.
