You should read American King.My plans to infuse Roosevelt blood and influence into Albion's royal family and national ethos have now been rendered nothing but soggy cereal. Seriously though Glen, you are a master story weaver!

Though as a Brit I am immune to all Roosevelt-is-awesome hyperbole, with one brother fighting for the US and one for the empire, what price
Actually, they are BOTH fighting for the British Empire, one in the DSA, the other in Europe.
Yes, but if I read it correctly, Nick is actually fighting for a British unit, whereas Marty is leading a US unit which is simply assisting their allies on British soil, and thus within reasonable expectation at the end of the war will simply be given orders to return to the USA and remain American, albeit as a hero.
So, to be clear, older brother Nick joined the regular British Army. Younger brother Marty joined a volunteer company of Americans who are fighting for the Dominion - they are authorized to fight and take their orders from the Dominion, and by extension, the British Empire. They have no official standing with the US government or the US military. Therefore, both are fighting under the official auspices of the British Empire, one in the regular military, the other as an irregular volunteer. Their status is closer to that of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War OTL (but without all the Communist baggage). Therefore, Falastur, Marty and his unit can't be ordered back by anyone in the US government or military.
Note, while they may be fighting for the British, they are and will remain red-blooded Americans.
