"A number of prominent people in recent years as well as many people I run into in academia have been arguing that one virtue of returning to conscription is that it would put the sons of wealthy and politically powerful people at more risk of going to war and would, therefore, cause those same people to be more opposed to foreign adventurism than otherwise."

The cure in this instance would be as bad as the disease it purports to remedy. How about instead we just abolish all military formations other than local militias entirely?
