Absolutely not. I don't like or respect my country enough to fight and die for it, especially for stupid reasons like protecting our oil interests.

Gotta say no, i don't wanna fight and kill people, but if i look at it realisticly i'd more than likely be stuck somewhere in the IT side of things being a programmer.
I'd only support it if there was a shit storm brewing or happening... like WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam just off the top of my head. now that i think about it that conscription not CMS, so i support conscription when needed and CMS in a very special circumstance.
We used to have it, then it was scaled back to be more selective and I think it's ended entirely now. The middle phase was good though imo, you got a form to fill out and unless you had some medical condition you got called up for some testing and information. Testing was mandatory, though you could always state "I do not want to do this" and you wouldn't be forced into service regardless of test results. Those with good test results were offered to apply.
I know several people who didn't know what to do after they finished school so they joined the army after this info. Most of them spent the one year of introduction and left, though one of my friends is in Afghanistan now.
So to answer the question: Kind of.
