Or exceptionally well led conscripts.
Don't look down on them too much. Some of them are actually surprisingly good at what they are meant to do after a good kicking.
And not to mention, I've seen some really bad volunteers as well. They volunteer, think they're entitled to the whole world and won't move to do a single hour of work.
Also remember that conscription is very expensive and that means outfitting with the state of the art equipment will be a tricky affair.
Unless you have a direct threat next door that requires a large, heavy Army, conscription isn't practical.
