Former Chief of the General Staff Lord Dannatt on evacuation of Afghan interpreters: “Many of us have been pleading with the government in the last two or three years and more vociferously in the last month or two to get this aspect of it right...”#bbcwtw
“...because our reputation will be trashed, our moral position compromised and in future conflicts people will be very wary about potentially coming to work with us.”
“When 45 senior military retired officers including many ex chief of defence staff write an open letter to the PM, Foreign Secretary, Home Sec, Defence Sec- [on interpreters] and it’s not really taken seriously then I think there’s a gap in who’s listening to whom in govt atm.”
