Nonsense!
'Fighting for the Queen' is only a traditional way of saying that one will fight for one's country; the country as a whole and its people, rather than an inept government.
Of course, it is the government that would send us to war, but if that government's decisions are not to be trusted (as now) it must be expected that people may not, at the end of the day, put their lives on the line for its stupid decisions.
Hence the reason for the recent lack of interest of people wishing to join the armed forces.
