UK military chief warns citizens of "sacrifices" for war

General Sir Rolph Walker, head of the British Army, warned that the UK may soon require citizen participation in combat and urged the public to prepare for sacrifices for national defense.

Speaking at the Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire to approximately 700 servicemen, Walker stated: "You didn't know this, but our country will need you." He emphasized that the current geopolitical situation is extremely dangerous and that political leaders will soon speak frankly about existing threats.

According to Walker, civilians must accept sacrifices to prioritize defense and security. He noted that in the event of war, the main burden of combat would fall on junior and least experienced soldiers: "The responsibility for defending the country will rest on you if you are called into battle."
