This is one of those "Peak NH" comments, no offense meant. Conscription may be politically unpopular, but pretending that automation will be a solution to declining army enlistment anytime soon is pretty out of touch with reality

Sorry, not saying automation is the solution. If China bombs Guam, yes, we'll need conscription.
But conscription is far from "probable." I'm simply arguing that Congress pumping godawful quantities of money into automation is more likely than POTUS enacting a draft.
