Modern warfare has changed substantially. It’s no longer a numbers game, as it’s much more about means. The days of storming beaches and digging trenches are over. We are seeing exactly this in the way the military is turning away, and kicking people out left and right.
Any large scale conflict will not be fought, one army against the next. It will be fought with drones, and cyber attacks.
There will always be a need for “boots on the ground” so to speak, but I think those positions will be adequately filled by volunteers (as it is today).
Is it fair that men have to register and women don’t? No, of course not, but in the grand scheme, I think it’s a moot issue as the draft is likely dead anyway.

I have a couple thoughts on this:

I wouldn't put circumcision first, it's less critical than others.
