Best Answer

Yes, they are different concepts. Conscription is a draft, pulling people in based on random drawings or sweeps grabbing bodies. Compulsory National Service is a system where everyone knows that they have to do it, but there tends to be more choices in what sort of thing you can do to provide that service.
