Chief of Defence Staff, General Sir Nick Carter
Chief of Defence Staff, General Sir Nick Carter was interviewed by both The Sun and The Financial Times as part of their Armistice coverage.
The Sun's piece focuses on General Sir Nick Carter's calls for the nation to stop the 'awful generalisation' of treating veterans like 'victims'. He continues stating that the assertion that military personnel have been destroyed by service 'is not backed up by the facts'. The Financial Times' focus is on Sir General Nick Carter's confidence that military ties will stay strong with EU allies even in the event of a no-deal scenario, praising UK-France military ties and emphasising that NATO should take the lead on European security.
