school attack in russia

[Bob]

I imagine now 1 in 5 russians is volunteering to join together to exterminate Chechyns.

As I understand it the Russians conscript every non-disabled male at age 18 for x years amount of military service (might be 2 years, not sure). Now, those agreeing to stay on (good because you have experienced soldier & don't have to train them), re-join at a later age like 25 or so (good because you don't have to put them through basic training again) or volunteer to go to chechnya (good because soldiers fight better if they want to be where they are) could be volunteering, but few will be actually signing up for the army.

Although, either way it doesn't spell good news for the Chechens, or, unfortunately, innocent chechen civilians. Large armies tend to be worse trained than smaller armies. Worse trained soldiers tend to make more mistakes, like shoting civilians, or being a bad shot and accidentally shoting civilians. They also tend to be less disciplined and therefore more likely to shoot civilians for revenge, or whatever reason.
Like I say, bad for innocent civilians.
