In our current context? I'm not in favor, but I would serve if I were ever drafted, because I wouldn't want to disconnect myself from other working class people who don't have the option to opt-out and could potentially be radicalized enough by whatever conflict is going on to be won over to revolutionary politics.
In a socialist context, I'm obviously in favor of it. I am opposed in principle to the idea of 'professional' bodies of armed men, and would support the abolition of the standing army and the police in favor of a draft system in which all citizens over a certain age receive training and are regularly called up for service if need be.
