(FY2025)
And like I said, conscription has been being discussed for awhile now.
The draft's resurgence into the national conversation in the United States and elsewhere marks a reversal of a decades-old trend.
“A return of conscription stands in stark contrast to the dominant conception of the future of warfare, which has largely centered on the rise of machines. In this vision, with advances in artificial intelligence and the proliferation of unmanned systems—on land, at sea, and in the air—militaries could get by with fewer, albeit more technically savvy, service members. That forecast has become reality—but only as it applies to technology, not staffing needs. As the wars in Ukraine and Gaza prove, drones of all types are a staple of the modern battlefield, with even second-tier terrorist groups like the Houthis rolling out their own versions of these weapons. But while war may have shifted to more unmanned systems, this trend has not reduced the demand for soldiers.

Republicans rarely make promises, Democrats make promises all the time and then break them.
