Consription in the Human-Covenant war
Why is it, that during a war against a technolgically superior enemy, hell bent on destroying the human race, the UNSC didn't think to start conscripting citizens? The main evidence for there being no conscription is the recruitment posters all over new mombassa.

The war lasted 27 years for a reason until it hit Reach and Earth.[/quote] Hm, I think that had more to do with the fact that you know... a lot of the space is kina empty. The covenant had a rather hard time finding planets. And with the cole protocol it became quite impossible for the covenant to find human-occupied planets.
