AlphiChi,
Pretty good, but I think there is one flaw. The downsizing of the armed forces was more a function of budget cutting than lack of compulsory service (The Draft). That's why in present day conflicts there is much more emphasis on the Reserves, National Guard and the use of "smart" weapons as opposed to large numbers of troops.
As the Cold War scaled down and the former Soviet Union fell apart, Congress was less inclined to spend the money to keep the services at previous levels.
