Don't mention it.

I am well aware of the fact that UK citizens choose to live in various EU countries though, I am after all one of them. I am 100% Scottish by birth and I was an avionics technician in the RAF for 15 years, before PVR'ing. I owned my own car.

I served in the armed forces of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland just as you did. I will also be entitled to a pension, therefore I feel that I have just as much right to an opinion as you do.

Of course if there is a positive vote from the people of Scotland for independence, and you have your way, then my pension will not be paid by the UK despite my loyal service to it. So in summary my 15 years of service, including a 2 year tour of NI obviously count for nothing in your eyes.

Thank you for drawing attention to your apparent lack of respect for those with whom you served.
