Exactly what do you plan to do with those soldiers? Invade Russia?
Mandatory Military service actually would be a good policy. 2 years.
The extra recruits could do work for their respective governments, it would provide young adults with Jobs, there for decreasing unemployment and productivity of the Nation. They would be fixing roads, building roads, building schools and other buildings, and be a general boon.
Germany and a couple other countries do this, and they seem to have the lowest Unemployment ratings.....
I was thinking this is an awesome idea. Sadly to little to late for many. My step mom talked about it and it does sound pretty smart.
I wonder if this is something that can be used in the massive strategy games.
