I looked up what conscript means and it is a military concept used all over the world and not just by communist and socialist countries, it is when the country has a mandator service requirement for it's citizens. Germany has it and so do most other countries. So yes they do have a conscript military still. They need to get their economy out of the gutter so they can pay those poor bastards better and get better quality out of its service men/women and that will only happen when they quit this stodgy socialism crap.

They are way to far behind us in technology and they aren't even a threat as it is.
If you think about it China isn't a threat either, besides if we actually got into a big enough conflict with them, I would hope the President at the time will authorize Nuclear weapons, because we will have to at least knock them down in size if we want to end it quick, mind you I don't think we would need to, just that it would speed the war up.

Message Number 33Date Posted: 22 August 2008, 5:51:12 PM Ok, first of all, there are treaties to limit stuff like that, no worries, besides they are far behind us in that technology.
Next, both their military and their population is smaller than the United States, you said that they have about twice as many people, thats incorrect, we have about twice as many people as they do. Our military is also larger and better equipped.
Your so called facts, are just the opposite...........Russia is not a threat to the US and will not be for many years to come.
