Finland has maybe 1000 men who are trained to NATO standards. If there is a Russian invasion, current conscript army become police force to handle local population and logistics, while NATO overtakes the country.

It is not 1940 something.

I think that's orthogonal to my point.

Perhaps the specific example I gave of Finland does not hold, but I think the spirit of my example still does.

Well, I will give an actual example of non specific country that was invaded two year ago.

First profi army becomes senior force, that trains whomever wants to hold a gun (second army). There is never political support to draft third army (like everyone). Remains of first army flee after government collapses. Political regime changes.
