You neglected to include a good argument in favor of slavery.

Is conscription slavery? Are there good arguments in favor of conscription?

Yes, but please note I made my comment about slavery while using the abolition of American black slavery as an example of a good cause which did not require lying. Substituting "conscription" for "slavery" makes it no longer relevant to my statements.
