Part 2/7:
General Patrick Sanders, the head of the British Army, has been vocal about the need for a collective national effort should NATO find itself embroiled in a conflict with Russia. Rather than advocating for the reinstatement of conscription, he proposes a different paradigm: one where the civilian population is prepared for potential involvement in national defense efforts. This vision hints at the concept of a "citizen army," where civilians are seen as integral players in supporting the nation's military objectives.
