      This is about the draft. We haven’t drafted in forever either, but you can bet if they draft it’s because cannon fodder is needed.

        That’s a big if, as you noted US hasn’t drafted in forever. But even if they did draft, the US hasn’t used “cannon fodder” tactics for several decades. Their technology is so advanced (and military budget/spending so high) they don’t need to in order to win. Trench warfare ain’t really a thing anymore.
