    Active soldiers yes, but they have something like 1.5 million reservists. I'd be shocked if most of this number wasn't conscripts.

    edit: 1.5 million men and women each according to NATOpedia. And jesus fuck, they have a section about minorities in the IOF, including vegans liberalism

      Back when I read r/vegan we got occasional vegan-washing posts about the IDF, but they got shot down pretty hard.

      I'm guessing the quality of the reserves is pretty poor, so casualties would go up dramatically once they start getting fed into the war in large numbers.
