Wouldn't the Kilt violate environmental integrity? (8-) (Or would you
wear it on the outside of the PA? )
Hmmm. French Foreign Legion, Gurkhas, SAS, sure. SEALs, not sure,
because
I think they would probably be folded into something (SBS?) when the
RN as senior service takes control of the RCN, and the USN. (I know,
I know, I should say 'Maritime Command.' Gah. (8-) )
Anyways, I had a much longer discourse here on the nature of military
history and units, but it isn't strictly valid yet, and I really want to
do some campaign number crunching now. (8-) (Yeah, as if I have time
to
throw ANOTHER FT related thing on my plate. *sigh* (8-/ )
