Even conscripts are going to feel the sense of family. It might only be a sense all conscripts are in the same boat, but they will still feel it. This may go some way towards explaining why individual desertions from the PACT forces were fairly minimal while whole units disobeyed higher command and stuck together (at least initially until the supplies on hand ran out).
