Conscription is a form of slavery.
Really? You can get out of slavery by claiming to have non-existent bone spurs?

Are slaves property?
Are conscripts property?

Are conscripts property?
Also, conscription generally has an endpoint.

"You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy -- and I will...History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen. Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool! I will call you later."
-- from Trump letter to Turkey's President Erdogan
"Our soldiers are not in harm's way, as they shouldn't be, as two countries fight over land that has nothing to do with us. And the Kurds are much safer now."
-- Trump
"I hope President Trump is right in his belief that Turkey's invasion of Syria is of no concern to us, abandoning the Kurds won't come back to haunt us, ISIS won't reemerge, and Iran will not fill the vacuum created by this decision."
-- Sen. Lindsey Graham
"Lindsey Graham would like to stay in the Middle East for the next thousand years."
-- Trump

Yes, absolutely. Conscripts are government property. I'm surprised that you ask this question.
No they are not. Government can not sell conscripts. Property also has no rights, unlike conscripts who are still citizens with full citizens´ rights.
I am surprised you arent aware of such simple facts.

No.
Only the israelite slaves, and even they could be tricked into permanent slavery. You are reading either

or

Doesn't matter. Conscript can also go to jail if he doesn't follow orders.
...and if the orders arent lawful he doesnt have to obey. Does a slave have that right? Does a slave have
any rights? A professional soldier also gets court martialled for not following orders. Does that make him a slave?
