I guess I viewed it kind of like choosing to wear (not with a kilt of course) a Pea Coat or a Camo Field Jacket. Both have their origins in the Military, but people don't look at a Pea Coat in quite the same way (in general) as they do the field jacket.
But the caubeen is connected with the military as well, namely the Irish regiments of the British Commonwealth forces, as well as the Irish Defence Forces.
