Reply To: Forcing chumrot on others

There is a kuntres by the Chofetz Chaim, ZTL, called, if I remember correctly, Machaneh Yrhudah which covers how one should conduct himself when drafted into the Army. He was referring to the Russian or German armies. I read it when I was drafted into the U.S. Army and found it very helpful as it did point out leniencies that one could use in such circumstances.
