Aye Barrie, all sports. As to joining HM forces, in an ideal world yes, our servicemen & women would be British as it's a British Army, Navy, Air Force. That said though, they've been scrabbling round for several years now to fill the ranks with cannon fodder, end result, they opened up recruiting to our commonwealth brethren.
Difference is though, these folk won't be on obscene pay packets, getting idolised or living the life of Riley, they'll be getting stuck in in dangerous & life threatening situations, risking life & limb so a whole different World.
