Many Scots I know, including some serving in the British Army, disagree. Many Scots do wish to remain British and it isn't wise to make "in general" statements on a divisive issue.

A fair enough point.
To be fair it's not like they can serve in the Scottish Army is it.
I don’t think that’s what was meant. Squaddies tend be way more pro-Britain and pro-Royalty than the rest of the public. I have some ideas on why that might be, but it’s probably true throughout the rest of the world (ie there aren’t likely many pro-Basque or Catalan separatists in the Spanish army, or Quebec nationalists in the Canadian army)
