The mandatory conscription for men age 18-30 only lasts one year. This can force them back into military service and be used to enhance selective enforcement against dissidents.
Ah that makes a lot more sense: I had just assumed conscription was quite a lot longer than just a year for some reason.
It's certainly a good target if you wanted to criminalize the group of people you want to conscript since the overlap is probably pretty much 100%.
