UK military problems & policies

[davidbfpo]

The Daily Telegraph (London) has published extracts from General Sir Michael Jackson's autobiography, he retired as Chief of General Staff (CGS), the UK's most senior soldier and was badged to the Parachute Regiment. He comments on a number of issues: Iraq, Kosovo, the Balkans and Northern Ireland.

I suspect only his much reported refusal in Kosovo to follow General Wesley Clark's orders was covered in the US press.
