Due in the 1% possibility that we might some time in 50 -100 years from now need a coscripted army we should continue to spend money to maintain said system “just in case”?

Cost for the Government to maintain the system since 1973 is greater then it would to set up a system from scratch with modern technology.

The Russian Army and the Chinese PLA are mass conscript armies. Do not foresee them changing their conscription policies any time in the near future.
