The US first tried to establish a draft for use in the War of 1812, but the Congress denied James Madison's request. Prior to the US Civil War, the various colonies and later States provided the Militias and the Federal government forces in a manner that they deemed appropriate, usually by providing a bounty for their enlistment. Lincoln received the authority for a federal draft, but the number actually drafted into service was quite small, totalling only about two percent of the force. WWI brought on the first large scale conscription effort. The third draft was for WWII and it expired as the Law of the Land in 1947 after a total of 10 million men had been inducted. Draft number four was put into place in 1948 and covered the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and ended in December of 1972. The framework for a future draft is in place, but for now, the US operates with an all volunteer force.
The question does not indicate a nation with any draft laws. If speaking about the US Civil War, the first draft in American history was created in the South in 1862 and in the North in 1863. Other US wars also had a draft, and also a peace time draft as well. US President Nixon abolished the US draft.
The first was the US Civil War (1861-1865), then WW1, WW2, Korean War, the last was the Vietnam War (1961-1975).

Although there are different types of military badges for the US Army, there are no subdivisions for military insignia. The total number of military insignia for the US Army is 57.
About 7000.
2,500
About 292,000 American soldiers.
It has always been an all volunteer military with the only notable exceptions were drafts.
Steady employment.
how many are buried in military cemeteries in the US?
It's not bad for many people; and it is bad for many people. For the bad feeling people, most are simply scared of the military. Like anxiety...they can't help it. So when a draft comes, they panic; injure themselves, make themselves sick, just to fail the medical exams (and become disqualified). Or failing that, they flee for Canada...or they protest and burn their draft cards, or... MILITARY DRAFTS ARE BAD PPL.GOD DOESNT LIKE THEM AND NEITHER DOES JESUS .MILITARY DRAFTS ARE FOREVER EVIL
There are approximately 1,380,000 members of the US military.
Draftees were arriving in country in '70 & '71.
