I didn't say conscription. Basic 6 weeks training with zero obligation to serve. I would imagine it would actually solve the recruitment struggles as many people will love it and join right away.

Even if I did enjoy it, I would resent essentially being made a slave against my will and being forced into it. I think that's a very common human response to being forced to do something.
