And no matter what may be said, conscripts are nothing but targets. Nothing can compare to the professional soldier, and that is the most expensive item in the modern army, if it is run properly.
There it is. You can bring out all your stats about this tank vs. that tank and this weapon system against that weapon system, but in the end it all comes down to the soldier fielding the system. And to that end, the professional soldier comes out on top over the conscript.
