Think you are all missing the point.
Now Salmond and his lot are in power with a majority the whole way of looking at this needs to change.
The SNP are committed to spending minimal amounts on defence (in effect creating a defence force not available for overseas deployment on anything other than "peacekeeping" duties and then only for short periods) and are also commited to withdrawing from NATO (I have this from the horses mouth as I know Angus Robertson their defence spokesman unfortunately for me).
So bases need to close, would you keep them open in Scotland where in all likelyhood in a few years you will need to close them and relocate everything south of the border? personally im surprised they are talking of moving the army in.
Lets face it the SNP are in a win win situation they are jumping up and down screaming about base closures (which they will do anyway) should they close they will shout "London dont care about Scotland etc etc etc" if they keep the bases open "we beat London - they dance to the tartan tune"
Interesting times ahead.
