what are the defence plans? Are they going to start their own army?

Don't care if they all starve to death within 6 months
I just want to know why we want to keep the stupid haggiswogs

It's just our benevolent nature
Look at how we tried to look after those ungrateful Micks, even when they kept on blowing things up.

Most of the SAS are Scots, fact fans.
OK, so 75% of a relatively small regiment isn't an army, but their defence plans are still the least of their concerns, considering they won't have a currency.

Most of our cannon-fodder are as well, aren't they?

The ranks are mostly working class, I don't know if there's a geographical bias.

Is there a rule that says that our SAS can't stay mostly Scots if they get independence?
I still don't care about them, their army or their currency. I can't work out why the Tories want to keep them.

They won't belong to the UK, so they won't be eligible to serve in the British armed forces.
The Tories want to keep them, because the UK is a mostly English institution and they're what the Americans would call patriots.

I was pretty sure forrins could sign up and fight for other armys
I know Brits have signed up and fought for the yanks in vietnam ect. What would stop Scots from signing up?

Dunno for sure, historically countries have had special regiments for Johnnies.
The Foreign Legion of France, the Spanish Scottish Regiment etc.

I was just under the impression you had to be a citizen to have a choice.
