Rest easy! As one who regularly dons a tunic and portrays either an archer, a Batavian aux and not to forget a marketeer/traveling smith peddeling firesteels, knives, arrowheads and spearheads from a shoulder slung basket wearing a floppy straw hat (my favourit civilian impression!), I have no beef with any tunic draped footsloggers, be they ancient or present time. The grunts in any army are the salt of the earth and worthy of respect, although I deeply wish they could all be permanently out of work as of yesterday.
