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.

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.
