00:00What if your child had to go to war?
00:02That's not just a nightmare.
00:03It's now a real warning from Britain's top military leader.
00:07Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton says,
00:09British families must be ready to send their sons and daughters to fight.
00:13He warns the threat from Russia is growing fast,
00:15and Europe could be Putin's next target.
00:18Even though a direct attack on the UK is unlikely, it's not impossible.
00:21And Britain needs more than just soldiers, reserves, cadets,
00:26and even school leavers joining the arms industry.
00:28At a defense summit, Sir Richard urged the nation to shift to a wartime mindset.
00:34The military wants schools and parents to guide children toward careers in national defense.
00:39Why? Because Russia is building a massive, battle-hardened army.
00:43Cyber attacks are already hitting the UK daily,
00:45and the shadow of war is growing darker.
00:48The message is clear.
00:49Avoiding war means being prepared for it.
00:51And that could mean sacrifice from every family in Britain.
