Now there’s a phrase you don’t see much in the news. Seems the Scottish army is suffering a shortage of man-skirts because their military brass hasn’t awarded a contract for the garments, so the brave men in plaid are having to share. Chalk this up to the horrors of war.

From the AP:

More than 5,000 Scottish soldiers are having to share ceremonial kilts because defense chiefs have yet to finalize a contract to buy enough of the garments to go around, military officials said Monday.The men, who face regular tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, have just 320 kilts between them, or one for every 15 soldiers.

Combat troops wore the traditional Highland skirt in battle as late as World War I, but now the plaid kilts are used as part of ceremonial uniform.

New kilts are needed for all Scottish soldiers following the August merger of centuries-old regiments into a single Royal Regiment of Scotland.

“A planned deployment of kilts will be agreed with the Royal Regiment of Scotland on a rollout basis with … the full program being completed by January 2008,” Defense Ministry spokesman said Monday.
