[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1587013, member: 42"] Having worked with 'conscripts' from modern armies, I still have to disagree. They may not be professional soldiers, but they are still part of a professional disciplined force. We aren't comparing professional soldiers to our mythical hunter army right? If we are comparing conscripts versus hunters it's important to note that conscripts have been widely used, as more than just augementees, throughout history. Modern military conscripts are very capable of being proficient and professional, heck a good chunk of Europe had conscript armies until recently...wherein the conscripts were a large portion of the main body. Most conscripts have the same issues that our volunteers have; immaturity, lack of skills etc...but a conscript army can still put a hurting on someone (Isreal anyone?), especially with a modest amount of professional leadership, so dismissing them as merely conscripts doesn't win the comparison does it? I guess if we ever see some conscripts dropped off in the woods of Michigan to square off against deer hunters we will eventually get the answer. LOL! [/QUOTE]
