as an option To recruit not a million soldiers but few hundred thousands of master sergeants and praporshiks vested with draconian powers, and they establish cast-iron discipline and crack down on old-timer servisemen. |

ИМХО: построят по струнке "дедов" = will keep bullies in line |

There is a definition of "дедовщина" in Wikipedia. It is certainly the worst form, but it is still hazing. So here is a possible translation: To recruit not a million soldiers but a few hundred thousands of master sergeants and warrant officers vested with the draconian authority to put the straitjackets on the hazing bullies. |
