When I was forced to, back in the day, it was a horror. I was literally the only one that hated it. Noone else saw it as “why does the state own me like a stick figure? I’m not some property to use as someone desires”. Everyone else loved the uniforms, the the shouting, the shooting (OK that was decent) and the marching through mud. “It forms character”… “It makes you a real man”…and crap like that.

Long memory short: abolish the draft. Also: not everyone is enjoying it and just a prisoner that has no option.
