Lord Bramall like one of his predecessors, Lord Carver, may have been against the nuclear deterrent, but they both genuinely supported a strong conventional defence. I'm not sure where either stood on Tactical nuclear weapons? One of the problems with the defence debate today is the media obsession with the renewal of Trident. This is narrow and misleading, what is never looked at is what a Corbyn government would do regarding the current general military posture and the direction its headed in. What would be his response to any military threat recognised by the US, Germany and France? He and McDonnell have already stated they aim to end our relations with the US over such things as defence cooperation and seek stronger ties elsewhere. I think they are acting according to type and are extremely dangerous!
