National Defense: Citizen Sacrifice and Support for Soldiers

There was a time that our nation didn't want to think of a time when it would need its soldiers to fight in a war.

Indeed, very soon, the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country about just what is going on and where the risk lies.

They're going to try and explain to our citizens that our citizens have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security.

And then they're going to ask those citizens, for whom we are not necessarily at the front of their mind, that they too need to play a part in the defence and security of this country.

So they need to understand what we do for them.

They need to consent to allow us to do that, which means sacrifices by them.

And ultimately, we're going to need them to back us, to back you, to do the one thing that you do that nobody else gets to do, and that is to take the fight to the enemy.
