That's one interpretation. Unfortunately, no matter what excuses are utilized to justify said answer, said answer to my question still remains most certainty not thorough.

Also, as indicated from your response I'm guessing you don't ascribe to this particular philosophy.

Which personally to me seems a shame, but to each their own.

OK, so I've had the idea of conscription for awhile and I have a question about it. My nation is very defensive over offense oriented, so I could see how conscription would put a lot of manpower at my disposal. But, with more troops comes less training and over all skill. Including the fact that I am located in a very peaceful part of my RP world conscription may not bring enough benefits to justify the trade offs. That being said, I have contemplated the idea of conscription for less intense jobs like logistics, needed engineering(possible army corps of engineers esque thing), medical field, office work, MP, etc. Pretty much every job that doesn't require being directly involved to put your life on the line and fight for your country. Being conscripted to behind the scenes jobs instead of front line grunt work could raise overall morale due to not forcing people to fight for a country they may or may not like. This could also help with needed logistics and busy work to help make the military as a whole more efficient. If this sort of system was implemented I was also thinking that once a person was conscripted that they could choose where/what they wanted to work at/do. This could help those being conscripted feel more content by allowing them to choose a job that better fits their skills and interest. So, after explaining that, my main questions are whether it's worth initiating some sort of conscription policy for my nation.
And if so, if the current plan I have in mind would work to a good amount of success.


Given the limited amount of data, I would currently say no, your plan would not work well. Conscription works best when economies of scale are implemented and when a direct military threat is present. Since, neither of these currently apply to you, a small professional volunteer force is your better option. Also, depending on your nation's overall economic well being in relation to defense spending, instead of using conscripts for just behind the scenes work you could instead turn to PMCs {Private Military Companies} in the military support firm category.

Neither!

Will probably require a few of you to do some social reengineering towards a more liberal sociality structure as well as the relaxing of some military standards.

First step is integrate the field units with both sexes so having women in combat roles, relax the rules regarding the development of interpersonal relationships between subordinates as well as between all ranks and those in other services.

Human nature takes over from there...eliminating the requirement for brothels.


P.S. What's the voting currently stand at, who has the most votes?

You may delay, but time will not, therefore make sure to enjoy the time you've wasted.

Welcome to the NSverse, where funding priorities and spending levels may seem very odd, to say the least.

ImpRus is in first with 8.
Korva in second with a 6.
Dosta is in third with 5.
Fourth goes to New Vih at 2.
Fifth is a tie between Keiv and Akasha with 1 each.
Seventh is a tie between ABH and UE with none.

it's easier to keep track of mama-san's debauchery den than it is to make sure private fillmore didnt give corporal smith gonorrhea or sth and finding out how many men she's fucked since then in the battalion(s) she's been wheeled around in


Except that [legal] brothels are not really that dangerous in terms of venereal disease as you imagine them to be.

Couldn't you attempt to do some sort of pseudo-regimental system, where tribes are "regiments" and basic tactical units? So you wouldn't mix men of several tribes.


That is sorta how I planned on organizing my troops previously, each regiment derived from an individual settlement and was further organized along Age grades(think Zulus). Something like this:

Traditional Force
Regiment = Settlement
Battalion = age group tier
Company = Individual age group
Platoon = Field-Group

Dude, without men...Your nation will fall into oblivion.

Unless you'll make the whole nation as a brothel as means of expanding your population then it should be fine.

For the meantime, I will be invading Azenyanistan with men infected with AIDS.

You can create sperm in laboratories. It's still being researched and has a ways to go, but I guarantee you it's possible without men..

I'm some 17 year old psuedo-libertarian who leans to the left in social terms, is fiercly right economically, and centrist in foriegn policy. Unapologetically Pro-American, Pro-NATO, even if we do fuck up (a lot). If you can find real sources that disagree with me I will change my opinion. Call me IHOP cause I'm always flipping.

you don't even need sperm either... Female egg cells carry polar body, basically nonviable egg cells, that can be activated.. take genetic material inside it then insert it to the viable egg. boom..Parthenogenesis.

alternatively.. take another woman's egg... take its genetic material.. then combine it with other woman's egg... yay.. the kid will have TWO biological mother.

Omg, im totally convinced by this brilliant argument.

Lets make ns warfare like rl-
No real parity conflict ever.
Most militaries reduced to heacily armed humaniterian organizations.
RoEs allow you to break wind only after orders from divisional level.
Intresting tech and ideas die because of politics and budgets.

YES lets have total realism.

No not really.

Well perhaps if you were a clerk or some army cook and you hate your current job then that might be understandable. Otherwise, serving in the military can hardly be considered "boring".
