The reliance could be seen on how we acquire our military draft.
For example, countries such as Russia and south Korea implemented a mandatory military services for all adult men. (they're require to served at the military for around 1-2 years).
United states on the other hand, does not implement such mandatory military draft. All of our forces were acquired through voluntary methods without government force.
Since the nature of war has changed, voluntary method is more than enough since war that conducted on modern time would most likely relied on mass destruction weapons or advanced vehicles.

It was in Roman territory which was filled with cultural diffusion. Rome tolerated all religions as long as people payed taxes to the emperor to keep the peace. The emperor allowed other culture and religion so there wouldn't be an revolts against their own people. Later on a bad emperor Nero blamed Christians for a fire which changed things which led to the fall of Rome. Hope this helped!
