There was a whole class of Scots who did that and are known as Galloglass.

Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
The multiplying villainies of nature
Do swarm upon him, from the Western isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied

It's a fun idea. I'm not sure about the gallowglass thing, only that I have the same Y chromosome as most McDonald men, and that they did volunteer.
