That is certainly the common perception and not just among English people either, Scots folks, indeed especially in the SNP are more than happy to believe the complete nonsense that any military presence north of the border, not sporting a Kilt and Tam o' Shanter or Glengarry, is part of an English Conservative Force of Occupation, and quite despairingly regard themselves as proudly holding more in common with the folk of Iraq rather than being citizens of the UK and therefore directly served by HM Forces, wherever they originate from, be it; England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or anywhere else across the Globe for that matter.
