Boris Johnson Pledges to Join British Army in Event of War with Russia

Former UK Prime Minister Supports Call for Citizen Military Amid Dwindling Recruitment Figures

Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the UK, has pledged to join the British Army in the event of a war with Russia.
Johnson's statement comes in response to General Sir Patrick Sanders' call for a citizen military due to dwindling recruitment figures in the British Army.
Johnson, who has previously written about his struggles with weight, insists he has the necessary training for the military, having been a member of the Combined Cadet Force from the ages of 16 to 18.
Despite his support for a citizen military, Johnson does not believe a war with Russia is imminent, but argues that strength is the best deterrent against aggression.
Johnson's comments have been met with a mixed response online, with some netizens mocking his commitment.
