They aren't drafting people under 25?? Most serious war effort
"In bad country..."
I'm sure there's some level of corruption in any conscription process, but this seems unusual.
The 25+ conscription age is unusual. Isn't it the opposite in most places? You want your soldiers young, dumb, and full of cum as the saying goes. If I'd been conscripted in my early 20s I'd probably have gone along with it as I was an uncritical idiot. It was only after age 25 that I would have probably abandoned my life and gtfo instead of dying in a ditch for some nationalist myth.
The average age of a us infantryman in ww2 was 26 I believe. In Vietnam it was 19 and was kinda noted for being too young. Also in Napoleons grand army the conscription age was 20-25 so long as you weren’t married. Then when you consider special forces guys are all pretty much early to mid 30’s you kinda realize 18-20 year olds in the military are pretty much cannon fodder. A military needs “young” but capable (read life experience) to actually be effective. For example Russia recently upped their minimum age to 21 for that reason pretty much. Especially now that we are definitely in an age where technology is playing a major role in combat.
