💨 Abstract

The author, a liberal millennial, argues that while they advocate for peace and progressive values, they also believe in the necessity of a trained military reserve to deter aggression. They confess to considering joining the British Army or Navy Reserve, highlighting a generational disconnect where many young people are unwilling to defend their country. The author emphasizes that readiness is not warmongering but a necessary defense of democracy.
