Not exactly a way to build a stable army
Kind of reminds me of all those conscripts in Saddam's army back in 1991. The Afghanis proved very tough when they were battling the Soviets in large part because they were defending their homeland and religion. They didn't have to use press gangs to recruit for the guerrillas. The fact that they're having to use press gangs speaks volumes about the unpopularity of the Taliban. As long as we don't get stupid and bomb population centers or kill a lot of civilians, it wouldn't surprise me if this force collapsed pretty quickly following some heavy bombardment from B-52s and B-1s.
