Military operations cannot be tidy or free of friction - particularly in a coalition whose contributing nations see the campaign through national prisms.

Soldiering is a very important profession, is it not?

Not much over £1,000 a month for the private soldier on operations is hardly an impressive figure.

Technology's become the great prism for what's going on in the world.

There's just so much negativity that surrounds sub-cultures of people in the USA, and I think the fact that technology has caught up, we're going to capture a lot of these moments and share them with the world.

I think if you look at Hollywood as a whole and the type of content that they put out over the years, it's pretty homogeneous, right? They haven't done a really deep dive into a lot of stories of people of color. I don't want to say that there haven't been attempts, and there has been some great product that has come out over the years, but I think in 2016, we're in a world of struggle. It's not just about race, it's also about the LGBT community too and others.

I understand all the problems for the Ministry of Defence, of course I do; working within a budget and trying to do so many things is not easy.
