Conscription is even worse imo.

Compulsory military service and conscription are the same thing in this context.

I know, and I’m calling it worse than the way the US drives their military numbers.

When rich kids fight next to poor kids you will have politicians think twice before they start a war.

What nonsense justification is this? You think rich kids aren’t going to find a way around conscription?

Conscripted armies have proven time and again that they have terrible morale even in good times. They’re a shit idea that should only be used when the county has no other choice.
