Interoperable Embeddability

Since Parliament voted against the involvement of British personnel in wog-bombing Syria, the Government has naturally involved British personnel in wog-bombing Syria. Pilots have been embedded with US and Canadian forces under the rubric of "interoperability", which is NATO jargon for making the various member nations' armed forces compatible with one another and allows British personnel to operate "effectively ... as foreign troops". Given Westminster's obsessive concern with the wonder and fragility of Britishness, one might think there would be a few worries about the loss of our national identity in some federalised, pentagonal super-belligerent; but it seems that a dilemma between patriotism and wog-bombing is no dilemma at all. The number of British personnel involved in democratising Syria is understood to be very small at the moment, presumably in order to avoid confusing the minions of the mad old Home Office cat lady and causing a Serco-based incident when the effective foreigners want to be let back into Britain.
