Is Switzerland not a "Western country"? Several other countries in Europe (and many more throughout the world) still have conscription.
Even the US still requires you by law to register for the draft[1] and technically still has the legal right to conscript you[2], though since 1973 they (as a matter of policy) no longer do this:
> However, conscription remains in place on a contingency basis and all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing within the United States, who are 18 through 25 are required to register with the Selective Service System. United States federal law also continues to provide for the compulsory conscription of men between the ages of 17 and 45 and certain women for militia service pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and 10 U.S. Code § 246.
