@RE-ec7iz I don't think conscription makes sense for the US. Conscription is an effective policy for countries that are at risk of a major invasion from a land neighbor (or want themselves carry out such invasion) because it's a cheap method for creating a large mass of reserves for such a war. That doesn't apply to the US. Strategically, the US almost like an island. Its military is mostly an expeditionary force and doesn't really have a use for a large mass of reservists than conscription can generate.
