For example in Soviet Union / Russia recruits of armies had periodically training additional preparation (from one about several months).

It concerned as officers and private soldiers.

Refusal of periodic preparation is punished by the law.

There's a difference between having conscripts in an army and having a conscript army. The dutch for example did have conscription but about 60% of the soldiers were professionals.

In Vietnam (army of the USA) in the majority recruits just were at war.

Therefore there was such protest of the population of the USA against this war.
Now against war in Iraq there are no same meetings as then as the army consists of volunteers - professionals.
