Define "limited"

By "limited," this ignorant civilian was thinking in terms of numbers,
perhaps some tens of thousands each year (10,000-30,000 but I didn't
have an exact number in mind and thinking more about the Army and the
Marine Corps), and limiting their location of service to the US
(unless there was an emergency, for which I don't have a definition as
I'm only asking in a general sense)

You mean, reopening the can of worm of the draft-dodgers, whose was a
major factor in losing the 'Nam unpleasantiness ??????

Forty, fifty years later we still have divisions based on the Vietnam
War.
