Good article but the politicians set the rules, they are the ones behind this huge cock up.

I nearly cried reading that soul stirring article.They joined up, left Scotland and made the conscious choice to do so.
Suck it up.And stay in the UK armed forces or join a new Scottish force, your choice.We'll survive either way.
This is called democracy, don't like it? Move elsewhere.

Salmond explained this on the radio the other morning.
He very much wanted to include all Scots born on the pole but the legal guys said is was a nightmare.
It was the same in 1997.
Re the soldiers...is there any difference between Scots who chose a medical, diplomatic, sporting, finance etc career.
If those soldiers had a home in Scotland they would have a vote.

What an interesting response towards the people that have signed to protect people like you enabling you to be able to have free speech and join the Scots Guard - a Scottish regiment with such proud Scottish History - yet you dismiss with ease. I wonder what your reaction would be if they all wanted to vote yes.
Yes it's a democracy - maybe have some respect for the people that allow it stay a democracy and protect this country.

I'm not interested in how they would vote...and some of them would vote yes I guess.
Now, where's my tiny wee violin...

Everyone in the UK Army signed up to protect me, not just the Scots Guards.
They made a decision to move to England where the Scots Guards are based...no different to Hogan.

Why do you guys choose musical instruments that make such an awful noise.

Or it might would give a large block of votes to the No campaign more likely.

Another empty, but emotive, piece of propoganda imo.
The 'Yes' side could easily argue that it was Westminster that decided to move the Regiment, so it was Westminster that disenfranchised them! And that it is really a classic example of why Scotland should be independent and making decisions for Scots!
I presume The Scots Guards also fought in that illegal Gulf 2 conflict as well!

It was a handful of Scots and ANO who convinced parliament it was legal at the time.

And parliament didn't have the bollocks to stand up to them.Both as guilty as each other and the perfect example of why we should vote yes.

But in the context of the referendum they have no more or no less interest in Scotland than I. Whilst I can seem the emotional aspect of this - it is their job.
Many folk down here in England who know me well have expressed great surprise that I don't get a vote, and have said it is wrong that I don't. But their views are based upon their recognition of the emotional attachment I obviously have for my country - never mind my broad accent even after 30 yrs away
And never mind that they don't have any understanding of the real practical family issues that make it important to me how Scotland is run and it socio-economic policies.I don't have a vote - I am long past holding any resentments about that.
