  Most conscript militaries lack in terms of doctrine, not duration. 
   When most of the time is spent on indoctrination and doing regimental shit, with little focus on practicality, theres no point in lengthening the term of service, just a waste of time
context: I don't mind compulsory military service, in Greece it's also one year. What I do mind is when you spend 97% of your time doing jack shit and 3% of your time actually training and whatnot. I'd rather have 4 months of more intense military boot camp than a year of looking at the ceiling and considering moving to the Netherlands.
