As cannon fodder to protect the privileged.

  That's actually one argument people make for reinstating the draft. With the draft, people from all walks of life were enlisted. (Yes, there were ways to weasel out of it, but beside the point) Without the draft, the army is largely built from the lower-class, conservative, patriotic populous. The argument is that the privileged would be less likely to send people off to war if it meant their loved ones lives were on the line.
