does sir jock support the wishes of veterans for the institution of a National defence medal , and the call for better and more equipment for our troops in theatre at the moment?

I've posted my question:

Sir Jock,

Aussies and Kiwis were wondering when your armed forces can expect to receive a National Defence Medal? This simply allows all who served a number of years to have something tangible to wear on rememberance days? We hear downunder that your troops were pretty good at their job, so where's their gong?

He was not asked any questions by Andrew Marr relating to the Military Covenant, let alone medals. BBC/BS.

I sent in several questions. Veterans, NDM, broken covenant, lack of equipment etc.
Not one was asked. I felt as though Sir Jock had vetted the questions and told AM the ones he was prepared to answer. The interview was a waste of time..

Staged interviews are a waste of time , we could have done with Robin Day doing the interview at least he would have stuck to his qestions
