Britain should train a "citizen army" ready to fight a war on land in the future, the head of the Army has said.
General Sir Patrick Sanders warned that an increase in reserve forces alone "would not be enough".
He highlighted the threat from Russia and pointed to steps being taken by other European nations to put their populations on a "war footing".
He also called for more to be done to equip and modernise the UK's armed forces
I think the General. Is right that we can Civilians up to be a effective fighting force .i know he's not Vindicated scraping a professional Army .but it Shows he believes there not much difference to a trained civil force than a professional one
