> conscription by force Is there any unforced conscription? By definition conscription is compulsory.

Ah, invasive extra paperwork (enforced by criminal penalties, at least in theory) for something they say on the surface they won’t actually need. So very german (hah)

So, if some other country with different value system attacks your homeland with intention to effectively colonize it then you'd be okay with just letting it happen?
If you can’t get volunteers for a defensive war then that says a lot about how much the people living in your country value its continued existence.
