This article appears to infer that Scotland in some way has a military of its own which is subordinated to that of the UK by the Act of Union. |

Those reading should note that Scotland has only around 5 million people to England's 50 and as a result, most (ie: almost all) of the military expenditure within Scotland is paid for by the treasury of the United Kingdom. |

This includes (especially) the UK's nuclear deterrent and also the maritime patrol function of the RAF (G-I-UK cap in North Atlantic). |

However, as is the case with my native Wales, it would appear that a disproportionately large number of serving personel (ranks) in the UK military are from Scotland. |

I have no interest in substantially editing the article myself, as this will likely attract the wrong kind of attention. |

This article appears to infer that Scotland in some way has a military of its own which is subordinated to that of the UK by the Act of Union.
Those reading should note that Scotland has only around 5 million people to England's 50 and as a result, most (ie: almost all) of the military expenditure within Scotland is paid for by the treasury of the United Kingdom.
This includes (especially) the UK's nuclear deterrent and also the maritime patrol function of the RAF (G-I-UK cap in North Atlantic).
However, as is the case with my native Wales, it would appear that a disproportionately large number of serving personel (ranks) in the UK military are from Scotland.
I have no interest in substantially editing the article myself, as this will likely attract the wrong kind of attention.
