Yes. The good thing with conscription was and is that it solidifies support for the armed forces. Service was never punitive in Sweden.

Yep. It's been interesting to see Lithuania bring it back for just that reason.

Didn't suck for me. I mostly enjoyed it and learned a lot. Not sure I was ever a top level soldier though.

It sucks as a concept.Any kind of contract with a state that limits your freedom of movement,choice of occupation etc is bad.
