I'm rather neutral, beside thinking that the people describe it as slavery are complete moron.
conscription armies are useful for states, which need large cheap armies, they're not really inferior to "volunteer" armies, in fact volunteer armies tend to do worse when the states have a similar population and economy.
But back to conscription, a country need to protect itself and its citizens, and sometimes conscription is the best way to do this. If Finland hadn't had a conscription army, it would today likely be a post-communist state rebuilding after 45 year of occupation and Siberia would be full of the graves of dead Finns. Do USA need such a army today? Not really, it would make little sense.
