People are getting very mixed up on this post. Let me make things clear.
1. This call is for a citizens army, not the regular army.
2. It is for inside the UK only.
3.They will NOT be sent abroad or to any foreign war scene.
4.They will have virtually no chance of being killed or injured.
5. This is voluntary not conscription.
Now, with that in mind just which demographic will fill those places. Cos the British youths wont.

Doesn't really matter. If the uk goes to war with Russia it would lose conventional war.
But that wouldn't happen, nukes would fly. Russia could easily survives the uks nukes, the uk would become ashes.
As for article 5, I'm betting that the rest of nato would stay out of it at the risk of getting nuked themselves.

Can NATO countries simply stay out of it? If one country is nuked isn't the whole world essential nuked too?

Well I'm assuming the uk would go to war with Russia, which would be a joke with 73k soldiers. Article 5 and the mad doctrine suggests all of nato would get involved.
However reality is different. Would you want your country to be totally destroyed over the uk? I think most of the countries that hold nukes in nato would in reality stay out of it for self preservation.
Not many countries actually like the uk. I mean even the relationship between the USA equates to Britain doing as its told. Take the houthis for example, never the threat to uk vessels but as the usas lapdog it joined in as requested by the USA.
