I love bagpipes and I went to see the Scots Highlanders ... it was outstanding!

I remember reading once that, while in N. Africa, Gen. Montgomery told Churchill, ‘I need another tank regiment ...or else, 5 more pipers.’

It was very stirring and I never saw so much spit and polish in my life.

Some of the men in the audience showed up with kilts too.

Now bagpipes is something we can agree upon. Just show me the son of a gun that doesn't like bagpipes and things might get a little ugly.

I do not find kilts effeminate. And while I am no Islam fan I have no issue with the “dresses” men in the Middle East wear - I think they are called kaffirs? It is the customary dress and I don’t find it gives a feminine look nor is it intended to.

Brad there though, nope.
