Yes.
Reinstate the draft. I think we'd be far better served as a society if our military was a truer cross section of our society. What we have today is anything but a cross-section.

MANY might just view a new draft as part of MAGA.

I assume you are referring to wealthy people getting another kid to sub for their kid to do the military service?

Getting rid of the draft meant only the patriotic would serve and so, greatly reduces the number of folks who would protest going to war. Vietnam was the lesson.
Patriotic? Or too poor or poorly educated to have many other prospects?
I don't doubt some do it out of a sense of service to their country, but none of the young men I know personally who've joined did it for that reason. Their decisions were far more economically driven.
Try taking entrance tests for even the Army. I would guess half the people in combat arms are on academic waivers.
With the new administration, core values are back, and recruitment has been reported to be on the rise. Fingers crossed.
During the last draft, most branches of the military were interested in drafting and retaining "grunts" to do the basic or semi-skilled jobs required in military service.
