Good luck and good hunting. Aren't the Highlanders the little guys?

Any reference to Scotsmen requires a reference to sheep. This tradition goes back centuries!

Uh, OK. I remember a WW1 movie where Australian soldiers went "baa, baa" as they were marched into battle. A British general threw a tantrum.

My gratitude and prayers to our allies for your unwavering support.
The photos in this thread are awesome images. Naturally, I'm reminded of 'Braveheart', only fiercer.

Love the 1st pic from WW1. I had a great uncle who fought in the trenches in a kilt.
The Germans called them "The Ladies From Hell"

God bless and protect these fine forces and their families. America is grateful.
(Well, except for the Democrats of course.)
