Speaking for myself and being retired from the U.S. Army for 15 years now it is my opinion that the wearing of a service related tartan should be looked on as flattery. I would feel a bit of pride seeing someone wearing and aware of the tartan dedicated to a branch of the armed forces. The only things that I would be very offended with would be seeing someone wearing ribbons or medals or especially the CIB without being entitled to it.
