"Michael Lynch, a research professor of national security, stated, 'I don't think there's any appetite for it on the military side,' referring to the lack of need for a mass Army and the requirement for Congressional authorization for a draft."
"Lynch noted that countries implement conscription for various reasons, saying, 'Some keep conscription in place because they're simply in a tough neighborhood,' highlighting the influence of regional conflicts on military service requirements."

Experts believe there is no current need for a draft, as it would require Congressional approval. In contrast, many countries still enforce conscription based on various factors. Reasons for conscription vary, including government control or regional threats, as seen in Finland due to its proximity to Russia. A list of countries with mandatory military service has been compiled using various data sources.
