Scottish Defence Force?
I thought about attaching this to the Scots Hamsterwheel thread, but think this place is more appropriate somehow, please excuse me if this has already been discussed but tried the search function already...
Apparently as a part of Scottish independence, there will be a splitting up of the RAF/Army with 16-18 Typhoons, four C-130J's and six Army helos to go North of the border permanently.
That's according to SNP's manifesto anyway. We, in return, will get the Trident base sent South to what remains of the UK.
What do we think? Scotch pie in the sky, or a genuine workable proposition? Is it time for nations to consider dropping national air forces in favour of a NATO (or similar) common force, committed to supporting all member states unilaterally? Or is there a third way?
