Leaving now would mean all thos poor souls who fought in the two world wars, and the boer war, would have fought for pretty much nothing, seeing as no real threat (Excluding Pacific in WW2) presented itself to the rest of the commonwealth.

Boer war we went just cause the british told us to. WWI we went just cause the british told us to, WWII was different though. This really was a threat to freedom. Imagine if Hitler had won against the Russians. Imaging if he had invaded Britain and was successful. After those two are gone, next step is the rest of us. Canada, US and the japs would go for Aus and NZ.
Believe me, if someone attacked the Brits or Aus or NZ i'd totally go to kick their ass, just like what happened to teh States. I don't think you do it for the commonwealth, I think you do it because we all share something in common. We all want to have our freedom and be allowed to do whatever it is we do in our daily livs. And when thats compromised, I would go to war. I wouldn't go to war because the Queen told me to. There is a big difference between an allie getting attacked and the queen telling me to go to war.
