I suppose there are lots of places that have it. Iraq is one.

I saw it first hand in Turkey. Men are required to serve a year with the armed forces. It produced less than satisfactory results. It's hard to feel safe thinking that there is some 18 year old kid who was forced to serve sitting out there on the fence. The Turks would often have "accidents" whereby there weapons would mysteriously discharge, shooting themselves in the feet or legs, and thereby rendering them unable to fulfill their service obligations.

Never the less, any time your talking about conscipts you're going to find a military force that is less that professional.
