The period 1940-1973 is sui generis. As such, one extrapolates from it to the present day at one's peril.
A single instance of a period of benefit does not establish any kind of correlation that future periods of conscription will produce similar benefits. In fact, I think the weight of evidence presented by posters other than yourself in this thread is against the position you hold. (I do give you full marks for tenacity though.)
