YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has died at the age of 68 after suffering a “sudden cardiac event,” his family said in a statement Tuesday.

“It is with deep and profound sadness that the family of former Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter shares that Secretary Carter passed away Monday evening in Boston,” the family wrote.

Carter, known as “Ash,” served under former President Barack Obama as the nation’s 25th defense secretary from 2015 to 2017, during which he launched the fight against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and opened combat roles in the military to all women.

“He believed that his most profound legacy would be the thousands of students he taught with the hope that they would make the world a better and safer place,” the family said.
