The origin of the term “going commando” may connect to the tradition in military units of Scottish heritage to not wear underwear under their kilts. The first Commando units were raised and trained in Scotland in WW2 (which is where the present-day Commando Monument is). It is said that Scottish soldiers once used the expression “regimental,” to describe the state of wearing no shorts under a kilt; allegedly, Scottish drill instructors carried a long stick with a mirror on the end to verify that soldiers were properly regimental.
