I didn't say anything about reverting back to medieval weaponry or battle tactics. More than a couple ways to make their ears ring these days even if they aren't the tip of the spear.
The US doesn't do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There's a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
