Lord Dannatt told the Telegraph: "I'm certainly not happy about it.
"As an ex-military man I'm minded that a regiment has two colours - the regimental colour, a flag - and it has the Union colour, the Queen's colour, and people have given their lives protecting those.
“We should respect and revere the Union flag and not involve it in the way that it is being involved in a political campaign. It will be counter-productive."
