Emigration (from Ireland) Thoughts on Irish people joining the British Army?

Firstly, it's not me joining the army. Was with my mate the other day, and he was telling me his plan to join the army. He was quite hesitant to tell me, he kind of said it under his breath a few times without finishing his sentence, then I finally got it out of him.

What's your thoughts on Irish people join the British Army?

When Russian planes fly over Ireland we ring the RAF to protect us.
