call to arms

In response to the American military action, Maduro has surrounded himself with military men and sounded a call to arms.

In what appeared to be a call to arms, it urged its supporters to "report for national service" and to use "all means available to regain their country and sovereignty".

It also appears “South Park” will be focused on ICE recruitment or, rather, the absurdity of the administration’s public call to arms.

The famous phrase "the game is about glory" echoes around the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before every game as a call to arms and the club's mission statement.

But South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal has ruled that a "reasonably well-informed person" would understand that when "protest songs are sung, even by politicians, the words are not meant to be understood literally, nor is the gesture of shooting to be understood as a call to arms or violence".
