It seems apparent that this is quite an emotive subject, although no-one has really approached where an independent Scottish military would come from. Would Scots in the UK Military be 'drafted', or would it require a whole new set of infrastructure for recruitment, trg? Would ex-pat Scots go flooding back to their new Country, thus boosting its economy? At the end of the day, I feel that Scotland will never get (and does not need) total independence, it is much better off maintaining the status quo and allowing idiots like Salmond to milk the patriotism of its residents (and ex-pats, Mr Connery) for their own benefit.
