conscript

On November 19, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the government was required to present an effective proposal for conscripting the ultra-Orthodox.

The Algerian war of independence was the last conflict fought by French conscripts, with more than 12,000 killed.

Bern estimated it would double the cost of Switzerland's current militia system, which sees army conscripts do at least four months' service before being called up repeatedly over a decade for weeks-long refresher sessions.

Here, the Russian conscripts are either mean but brave or they just have rotten luck.

Moscow legally bars conscripts from being deployed to combat, but after the military service men enter Russia's reserves, making them eligible to be drafted in future rounds of mobilisation.
