While I was checking out www.pittsburghkilts.com and it's latest photo gallery I came across this pic.
and this...
In the byline to the pics it mentioned
"Baghdad Jay" is on a second tour in Iraq, and wears his two-tone (Khaki with Desert MARPAT) kilt only when off duty. (His M-4 rifle, he points out, goes with him on or off duty).
Jay keeps a fantastic blog, which is a fascinating and powerful read. If you want to know what it's like to be in Iraq, forget the news channels and read Jay's blog!
I checked it out, and thought it was pretty cool although I haven't had time to go through it totally.
In his latest essay Jay defines a patriot as ...
"A man that consciously and willingly takes up the fight, to defend his family and his Country against her enemies. It is a selfless act of sacrifice and servitude performed with pride."
And ends with...
"Don't Be French!"
Perhaps other FReepers have found this site but I haven't seen it here so I thought I'd go ahead and post the link.
and a couple more pics.

I think it's cool a soildier in Iraq has the cajones to wear a kilt there, albeit off duty of course. Still KEWL though.
