There are a lot of superiors that forgot they started from the bottom also

so like in every Army around the world ?

I'm now imagining how a bunch of terrorists eagerly wait for the official oculus rift release to train some 747 flight skills.

you can go in town

when the french foreign legion was stationed in my barracks in Germany for a few weeks this meant getting drunk and going to the next prostitute who is available, strange fellas

Adding that the assad government has always been very connected to the sowjet union and later russia. There's even a russian naval base in Syria. Also russians hate radical religious people (especially islamists) since the problems that jihadists caused in chechnya so they are more likely to side with bashar al-assad's government which is very secular.

conscription is the correct term, we also had it in Germany and scrapped it in 2011. Technically the conscription is still active and just paused, so as soon as shit starts to hit the fan we can get all the boys back into the army.
