Conscription makes perfect sense if you’re setting yourself up to fight a defensive war. E.g., Finland’s entire military is more or less built for a defensive war against Russia, so they conscript.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to admit you were wrong for you to be wrong.
“Conscription is always a bad idea” is an objectively incorrect sentiment.
