great idea, so any independent state should roll over and accept defeat from agressive imperialist countries that do conscript citizens
If the only way you can get people to fight for you is under the threat of punishment, yes, absolutely. The population does not value independence enough to enlist voluntarily, therefore you have failed your population and you should accept defeat.
