Sam Carter

Sam Carter is UNATCO's Quartermaster and a childhood hero of JC Denton. Carter was a general with an undisclosed branch of the United States Armed Forces and is widely known for his participation in the Merced Operation, which JC read about in school. He abhors violence, and his criticism over JC's use of it gets JC thinking about his loyalties.

The player cannot enter the armory without cheat codes, however everything inside is usable if you can get in there. The last time you pass by the armory, Carter will let you raid it, and since it changes contents every time, you won't miss out on any loot if you'd raided it before.

If there are two ammo crates to the right of the picture frame on your side, carry them away from Carter before smashing them open, as he will yell at you for breaking them in his presence, though there is no penalty for triggering this reaction.

When the player is able to get into the command center of Vandenberg Air Force Base (the headquarters for X-51, a group of scientists from Area 51 who defected due to moral conflict), JC encounters Carter again, who reveals he was kicked out due to being a war veteran as opposed to a soldier who is immersed entirely in UNATCO's ideals, which made him harder for Majestic-12 to control, and a potential threat to Majestic-12.

Quotes

 * "In my day international peacekeepers were citizens first and soldiers second."
 * "I think you should concentrate more on mission objectives and less on the enemy body count."
 * "Being a soldier isn't just following orders, it's following those orders in the service of a higher cause. When that cause is betrayed, we're not soldiers anymore, just pieces on a chess board dying for the wrong reason."
 * "A pistol is more than adequate. Hell, I dispatched a whole platoon one time with a pocket knife."
