And it's also fair to ask whether we should be engaging into so much war that we need to force people to join the army.

I've always heard that it was the opposite; relying on conscription makes war less likely, since it's unpopular to force mothers to surrender their sons. The creation of a volunteer army is essential for prolonged war.

Looking at the history of the US, that seems about right.
