Compulsory military service in peace time is one thing and in war time is another. I think a stint in the military would be a good thing for a lot of people. Builds character, overcomes adversity, teaches teamwork etc. etc.
But it is truly my opinion that the military is a job.. a profession. And if someone does not want to enter the military.. they should not have to under penalty of incarceration. That is not freedom in any sense imo including the half-freedom under law that you mention that is what exists today. True freedom like you said is anarchy. And conscription is... is just not any type of freedom in any sense.. That is my opinion.
What you say is true too Djinn, however that is why I think the words "Peace Corps" and other governmental services are being possibly added to the list.
