Rather than reluctant peasant levies dragooned into service by the local lords, the Swiss often fought as a volunteer mercenaries for pay throughout Europe. Historical records indicate that the hard-marching Swiss pikemen managed to keep pace with cavalry units at times, if only in the confined terrain of the Alpine regions. Such mobility is outstanding but not unknown among foot soldiers. Roman records mention Germanic infantrymen trotting with cavalry, sometimes resting their hands on the horses for support.

This flattened out the earlier diversity of > radicalisms, welding them into a single approved model of Communist > organization.

William Taubman, Khrushchev's biographer, describes them as follows: > As the name implies, the MTSs were rural agencies that supplied collective > farms with agricultural machinery and people to run it. They were set up in > the late 1920s and early 1930s, when the kolkhozy were too weak and > disorganized to manage their own equipment. Ideologically, collective farms > were a "lesser" form of property (since theoretically they belonged to the > collective rather than the state as a whole); hence it would not do to have > them own part of the "means of production." Politically, the new collective > farms, into which so many peasants were dragooned, were unreliable.

Despite his humble roots and abbreviated education, Zhang had a voracious appetite for learning, and between his shifts working at the factory, Zhang would bicycle back and forth to management courses; he also read extensively on his own.

In 1982, he was promoted to deputy manager of the "Household Appliance Division" of the Qingdao municipal government. In a twist of fate, Zhang was dragooned into taking over as general manager of the Qingdao Refrigerator Plant when the previous manager left.

They resented the idea of being dragooned to face possible death by a Parliament they had no part in electing—forty percent of men over 21 were denied the vote by the franchise and registration laws (until the Representation of the People Act of 1918). To them conscription was yet another theft of working men's rights by rich capitalists. The only telling counterargument the government could offer was absolute necessity. Workers must be convinced that there were too few volunteers to meet the need, so they would lose the war, which would mean the end of Britain; army leaders should convince union leaders by laying out the military facts.

Apart from the Souliotes, the Septinsular Republic also became a haven for Greek klephts and armatoloi fleeing Ottoman rule in the rest of Greece. When French–Ottoman relations began to warm in 1805, the Russian General Roman von Anrep began raising Greek expatriate military formations for the defense of the Ionian Islands. The sole request of the Greeks was to be allowed to serve in their traditional uniforms and use their accustomed military tactics of irregular warfare, rather than be dragooned into Western-style regular units. This was granted, and the Souliotes joined the ranks of their countrymen from the Morea (Peloponnese), Acarnania and Himara in forming Jäger units. The new corps was named Light Jäger Foot Legion (), 2,760 strong and divided into six brigades of four hekatontarchies each.

The new government's efforts to build a professional army changed the military conscription practices and instead allowed many young Azeris and Armenians from impoverished regions (at least before the Russo-Georgian War of 2008) to be offered real employment opportunities by the Georgian army instead of being dragooned into mandatory military service. As part of his anti- corruption reforms, in 2004, Saakashvili cracked down on contraband markets. This targeted the economic situation of many Azeris from the border regions who made a living through unencumbered trade with Azerbaijan and even led to protests against what was seen as "unfair punishment". In general, the majority-Azeri regions, for the most part, demonstrated satisfaction with the United National Movement (UNM), showing varying support for this party in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 elections.

The next session of the General Court began on 2 November 1637 at the meeting house on Spring Street in Newtown. Wheelwright biographer Charles Bell wrote that the purpose of the meeting was to "rid the colony of the sectaries who would not be dragooned into the abandonment of their convictions". One of the first orders of business on that Monday was to deal with Wheelwright, whose case had been long deferred by Winthrop in hopes that he might finally see the error of his ways. When asked if he was ready to confess his offenses, Wheelwright responded that "he was not guilty, that he had preached nothing but the truth of Christ, and he was not responsible for the application they [the other ministers] made of it".

The British Roman Catholic periodical The Tablet reported the signing of the concordat: > Already it is being said that THE POPE OF ROME thinks of nobody save his own > adherents and that he does not care how Lutherans are dragooned and how Jews > are harried so long as Popish bishops, monastic orders, confessional > schools, and Catholic associations are allowed full freedom. We beg our > Protestant and Jewish friends to put away such suspicions. As we suggested > at the outset of this brief article, the Catholic Church could have done > little for other denominations in Germany if she had begun thrusting out > wild hands to help them while her own feet were slipping under her. By > patience and reasonableness she has succeeded in re-establishing herself, > more firmly than before, on a Concordat which does not surrender one > feather's weight of essential Catholic principle.
