My Take
Mark Carleton-Smith is the sort of figure most civilians never notice, which is precisely why I find him compelling. Born in Bielefeld to the military world, schooled at Eton, he rose to lead Britain's Special Air Service and eventually became Chief of the General Staff. His is a career spent in the deepest shadows of national security, far from any spotlight. I have no illusions about understanding that world, but I respect people who shoulder enormous responsibility without seeking applause. The quiet competence of officers like him is, I suspect, what lets the rest of us sleep soundly.
