Commitment to Queen and Country is what they sign up for. (not that I can see that their current deployments are beneficial to either Queen or country)
So point taken that the forces would certainly be biased in this area, and a lot of guys on ARRSE are older ex-servicemen, who are much more likely to be blue blooded patriots than the young men who are currently serving in the ****e overseas.
I'm sure they wouldn't lose a second of (precious) patriotic sleep over the Queen taking a pay cut were they afforded a few more choppers.
