I mean, conscription sucks etc etc, but this is why you want it. You *try* to make it so that the average citizen is represented throughout the military so that it’s not just one group of gung ho violent dickheads that self select for abuse of power.

political power grows out of barrel of a gun like they say few borders north. it does make sense to make everyone participate, but it’s always a tradeoff
