The Russian invasion of Ukraine implies otherwise.
It's unlikely the US will find itself in such a conflict soon due to their technological advantage. However, multiple simultaneous engagements can stretch the available manpower to such an extent that a draft is needed.
- jasonwatkinspdx 3y agoThe war in Ukraine reflects exactly what I said. They've run into a stalemate because both sides are heavily using conscripts and are incapable of doing maneuver warfare on a scale beyond a platoon. If the US military stepped into the Ukraine war, and there was somehow no possibility of nuclear escalation, the Russian military would be decimated within a matter of a week or two, and that's not overly optimistic thinking on my part. The incompetence of the VKS as well as Russia's mechanized formations has been gallingly clear.
