Ashton Carter dies at 68

Watch this Morning Joe conversation among Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they remember Ashton Carter, the former defense secretary for President Barack Obama’s Administration, who died at 68. “This is a shock to me. I spoke to him last Thursday, and everything you’ve just said, Mika and Joe, is so true about him,” said Barnicle. “He was a strong, strong leader and a strong believer in the power and how to use the power of the United States when he was secretary of defense and everything else that he did in government dating back a couple of different administrations. He will be sorely missed….A brilliant guy, a strong guy, a courageous guy—68 far too young.”
