So by you the US has more than 50 million troops(reserve and active)?
If we chose to conscript again, yes, we would.


Quote:
When i asked you about the army. I did not mean to question your opinion. I wanted to know do you know what army is.
Members of nation that are in the military with the purpose of engaging in land warfare. Conscripts would fit that definition.


Quote:
But they dont know anything about the real thing.
You mean like Iraq or Afghanistan?


Quote:
They never fired from rifle before or wore the uniform.
Not sure how it works in Russia, but in America all Conscripts are required to take several weeks of basic training before being deployed.

That is not a problem with simple rifle infantry training, but the tactics. And off course the other services, such as artillery, tenks ,and others...Those would need more time for training.
Remember this?

Apparently not quite all:



Quote:
As of 2008, some 480,000 young men are brought into the Army via conscription in two call-ups each year. Liberal legislation allows about 90 percent of eligible young men to avoid conscription.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...ssia#Personnel
To address your point then:

So if wikipedia is to be believed, that leaves 4 million.

Fit for service doesnt mean they are actually in the military. I could make the same argument for American civilians as well.
