- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoThe United States is on the list as having no enforced conscription. I assure you that we do have it. The definition they used for this chart is highly suspect. Edit: also trying to quantify this using "Count of Nations" rather than "Sum of Populations" is wildly misguided. Saying that Vatican City doesn't have a defense force adds nothing to the conversation.
