Text from youtube "Writer Francis Spufford in conversation with Edward Wingfield, discussing what it means to be ‘good’ as a soldier. 

Ed Wingfield served as an infantry officer in the British Army for 16 years, including operational tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. He commanded a rifle company in Basra in 2006, led an advisor team embedded in the headquarters of an Afghan National Army brigade in Helmand in 2012 and spent two years working on Afghan policy in the British Embassy in Washington, DC. 

Since leaving the army he has worked for a US bank and as a civil servant. 

How To Be Good is a series of conversations between Francis Spufford and five distinguished professionals in which they discuss what 'good' looks like in their working lives, how they negotiate difficult ethical territory, and how their professional 'goodness' is informed, challenged, or at odds with the Christian tradition.
