And then what? Gave them machine guns and asked them nicely to only shoot the other team? Ask them nicely never to post a video online? Same with their family and friends? This doesn't pass the sniff test. No one has that kind of media control.

I've seen a few videos alleged to be conscription grabs and it just doesn't make sense. You can't drag someone kicking and screaming to the front line of a modern war, it just won't work. At the very least you'd have to drag them to jail for draft dodging and use that to pressure others into signing up willingly - that would be a plausible story, but propagandists just can't help themselves and make up insane shit. I'd bet half those videos are just drunks being arrested for disturbing the peace.
