This has a serious eeeewwwwwhhhh factor - Scottish soldiers forced to share kilts for now

Apparently there was a screw-up and not enough kilts were ordered by the Ministry of Defense. Aside from being a hit to morale I wouldn't want to share a kilt with another Scot. Those guys are hairy, sweaty and a lot of them don't wear underwear under their kilts.

LONDON - Great Scot! A shortage of ceremonial kilts could leave thousands of soldiers without a stitch of plaid to wear as they parade to the skirl of the bagpipes.


The full story here.

Of course this is an AP story and given their recent history with Capt. Jamil Hussein, that probably means that not only does every soldier have his kilt, but that they also received an unexpected monetary bonus as well.
