Couldn't agree more with Ord-Sgt.
We are indeed greater than the sum of our parts, and this is especially true of the military that defends those parts. Where would we be without the fighting Jocks, the singing Taff, the loyal Irish or the perfidious English?
We are a Union of peoples that are varied and colourful and to break up such a union for the sake of some low life politicians who want to cram in the very last vote is a terrible loss to us all.
The causes that brought the Union about may not have been the most righteous, true, but we have benefited enormously for having been brought together.
Would the Scottish people be any better off with the loss of collaboration between our people? I don't think so.
For those that approve of the dissolution of the Union, what do you hope to gain? You swap one bunch of self-serving rulers for another. You are still ruled in the same fashion at the end of the day, so where is the benefit?
