I always remember my grandma saying: 'In 1914, the lads thought they were going to a picnic.'
At least no one will ever be that naive again.
'It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.' William Tecumseh Sherman.

The Queens own Highlanders would be disbanded and replaced by the Queens own Queens for starters.Can you imagine the variety of people who would rock up in this day and age? Some might already identify as a machine gun.
I wish every country had conscription but only in peace times and for the proposes of educating young people, improving society and being prepared for whatever challenges may be met. But I think it should be suspended when people could actually be killed, i.e. it shouldn't be for the purpose of forcing people to go into conflict.
Jesus, I wish I was a dictator. I'd be a really nice one.
