First, congrats on getting your own forum, I know we've had a few differences over the past few years but you put in an informed opnion (even if I don't agree with it somteimes, then again this forum has changed some of my views a little) on just about everything and that's more than can be said for most.
Now, down to business, do you, and your Military bretheren, feel that Conscription is actually worth it? I'm led to believe that conscripts are, on average, less capable than volunteer soldiers, and maintaining a system to conscript soldiers must be expensive. Then of course there's the ethical considerations of sending people into war zones when they may be completely opposed to the conflict.
Anyways, the trend seems to be towards professional Militaries these days, is that for the best, or do Military Forces benefit from the extra recruits?
