All content is in line with MOD disclosures Alistair Carns opens up about 24 years in the British military, from growing up fighting in Aberdeen to leading elite units on five tours of Afghanistan. He recalls the chaos of night raids, calling in airstrikes, and the brutal reality of losing men under his command. Al shares what it’s really like to face death, the brotherhood that keeps soldiers going, and the mindset that took him from the battlefield to becoming Minister for the Armed Forces. This is the eventful life of Mr Alistair Carns.
