Forced labor then. Not quite slavery....but not any better either.

Nope, because you don't get paid for forced labour.

sure you can.

the International labour organization claims that forced labor is, "as all involuntary work or service exacted under the menace of a penalty"

They make exceptions for military service, or penal service. That said....they have to rule the willing, and forced military service is a sort of accepted practice among many nations.

That said, the very definition of forced labor is forcing someone to work, regardless of remuneration.
