Perhaps, however I should explain a little more. Is the US flag just a piece of fabric, Gettysburg just a parcle of land, USMC uniform a just a fancy suit? All of these things have significant meaning attached to them for most people. The kilt started out representing ones family, a regiment, and ones national heritage. These concepts still mean something to many folks. If I took a USMC Class A and ripped the sleeves of and wore it with shorts and a Coors light baseball cap would someone become upset? I know a Marine would have something to say about that. It is not so much about what it is rather it is about what it represents.
