Much higher than the conscript armies of the 20th century - possibly as high as 13%. That’s greater mobilization than in WWII.
- sofixa 4y ago> Much higher than the conscript armies of the 20th century - possibly as high as 13% Considering it was as high as 80% of military aged men for Germany and France, with a few other countries in the 50-70% range, why do you think 13%, even if you mean from the whole population, is higher?
- atdrummond 4y agoI think they mean conscript armies of the US.
- pyuser583 4y agoThe 13% is of total population. Not just military aged men. That could easily be 50-80% military aged men.
