Yep, Nick Carter has no chance. It's probably true that Stu Peach was the Army pick, such was his standing.
Perhaps it is just me but does anyone else feel slightly unnerved that someone thinks Stu Peach is needed at NATO?
When you start putting such serious military players in such key positions, rather than a political chap to keep the seat warm, one wonders if they think that their skills may actually be called upon.
