How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing?

They dictate what you do and don't do. Taxes take a portion of your time as well since you need to work longer. I didn't see how it's categorically different. Just a difference of extent.

Yes and that extent is an issue, especially when it goes over the line of what's allowed in the constitution.

So if a country wrote conscription into their constitution it'd be fine?

No that's one of two ways its bad

So than what makes conscription too far? Would non military mandatory government service be permissible? How long would that duration need to be in order to be unacceptable?

No that would not be acceptable either. There's a massive difference between jury duty and military service. Theres frequency/amount, and the basic fact that jury duty is a domestic thing.
