By the second point, do you literally mean it’s legal to conscript soldiers (it is in America at least, although starting a draft would be politically impossible absent an immediate existential threat to America as a state), or do you mean that figuratively, in that if we pay soldiers enough, we’ll get more volunteers? I’m not sure what point you’re making.
I will see if I can find the data on the poor performance and high cost of mercenaries.

The second one. I seem to have misused the word “conscript”.
