Heard some crazy stories about conscription in Russia, including how the cops hauled some anti-war protesters down to the draft office and conscripted them right into the army. Can't imagine how forcibly conscripted anti-war activists would make for an effective fighting force.

I found it interesting in reading the historical fiction book Fall of Giants (Follett) about how Russia seems to have a long history of brutal tactics of involving forced conscription and compliance on the battlefield. I'm sure this sort of thing has been going on for ages, but I think it's a different mindset than we're used to in the US.
