The Kilt's use in Irish Nationalism

[davidlpope]

Maybe this is the case, although I would hope not. I would hope that if Americans claim to be wearing kilts to honour their Irish heritage, they would have at least looked into some of the history or how the kilt is seen in modern day Ireland.

I wish this were the case, but I think you'd be quite surprised at how little thought goes into these things in the US.

Don't even get me started on similar foolishness concerning American Civil War reenactors and their misplaced fascination with kilts!
