Scotland would.. more than likely would remain a member of NATO, despite the suggestion that Scotland would close British bases and or have nuclear missles removed. 

Which seems silly because removing those would seem more than in line with Scottish sentiment,
weakening British warmongering and removing a nuclear threat from the world.  If the nukes were removed and NATO withdrawn from,
anybody who takes those issues seriously would have reason to vote for Scottish independence just on those grounds.
I've seen talk about Scotland continuing to operate  expensive Eurofighter jets, which likewise is silly,
Scotland has no inherent need for that type of thing, which were created to fight the Soviet Union,
Cheap jet trainers which can be leased can suffice if some intercept capability to deal with hijacked airliners is desired.
