Conscription is considered a great idea by those too old to be conscripted

It is a horrible thing to begin with. They basically indoctrinate regular people and attempt to turn them into soldiers by torturing them.
But still, it is nice to see all those "alpha males" treated like worthless pieces of shits. In countries like Turkey, where patriarchy is the norm, almost all men raised like assholes. Drill sergeants knows exactly how to deal with that (usually because they are the biggest asshole) quite fun to watch
Commando training is nice though. Sergeants are fully muscular and highly trained professionals which always walks around fully equipped (with a big ass commando knife too) When i went there i had like 100 gram of muscle in my body (spending 20 years playing video games doesn't help) so i had properly functioning body when they were done with me.
I never managed to solve the mystery how the hell i went 2 weeks without shitting once though, even though we had 3 meals a day, and it wasn't just me. I guess we burned everything we ate?

Either that or the food they fed you discouraged shitting.
Many stories of WHAT FOOD TO AVOID when outfield to not shit and when you get back to the company line the entire platoon just unleashes bioterrorism in the toilets.

By the way, fun fact, conscription is also applicable to women in the Netherlands since last year, as it was considered sexist for only men to have to do it. Although the necessity to actually come and do it has been lifted since 1997. But they could reactivate it any day they wish to, and there have been more and more people pushing for it (Europe-wide).
Of course, the reason is that they don't want to use expensive soldiers for the dangerous intervention missions - conscripts are much cheaper.

Generals have that aura of fear only can be sensed by lesser ranked soldiers. Even colonels were acting like as if they were little kids around them

Generals are just big bullies who have kissed enough arse to where they are. It's not like they get a Monster Kill every 10 seconds by being in the thick of it or anything.

Yes, but they basically "own" lesser ranked soldiers and can do whatever he wants, that power is feared
Check coups for example.

Coffee is just absolutely revolting, I simply don't understand how anyone can tolerate it!

Tom, have you got a list of all the weird colours you've found? I need it for a writing group exercise.
Edit: I found some. I forgot about Atomic Tangerine
