On the bright side, reliance on both broad conscription and mission command really ought to result in improvements to public education...
(a mission command anecdote: when speaking with a FSU friend, he related that while Zhukov was on his way to Berlin, the germans had broken russian codes — but it did them little good, because "our boys" were always "disobeying" orders in order to do what was necessary to advance on the ground)
> Those guys get used up fast.
Stormed at with drone and shell,
Boldly they strode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell,
Those 3,600.

The reality is sending large numbers of barely-trained conscripts into battle. Many will die. A few will survive as good soldiers.
